What is the meaning of the name Pake ?

The baby name Pake is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAH-keh (IPA: /ˈpɑ.kə/).

Pake is in Origin.

Pake is a compact masculine name tied to West Frisian. In Frisian, pake is the everyday word for "grandfather," and as a fond honorific it has occasionally migrated into use as a given name within Frisian-speaking families and the Dutch diaspora. As a personal name it suggests ancestry, wisdom, and family continuity.

Beyond Friesland, Pake appears as a clipped form of Pa- names - especially Patrick, Paul, or Pascal - so meanings may echo Latin Paulus "small, humble" or pascha "Easter." Documented usage is rare but attested in late-19th and 20th-century Dutch records and in modern multicultural naming. Variant spellings noted in regional registers include Paake and Paeke; Anglophone diminutive spellings like Pakey also occur. Note: Hawaiian Pākē is an unrelated word meaning "Chinese."
