Rinke is Frisian in Origin.
Rinke is a Dutch and Frisian given name (also a surname) formed from medieval short forms of Germanic names. It most often derives from names with the element rik/ric, "ruler, power" (as in Hendrik or Frederik), and in Low German areas can also reflect Rein-/Ragin- "counsel" found in Reinhard or Rainer. The -e ending is a common Frisian/Dutch hypocoristic suffix added to Rink/Rienk to yield Rinke.
Records show Rincke/Rinke in the northern Low Countries and northern Germany from the late Middle Ages, later fixed as hereditary surnames. In the Netherlands today it is uncommon but distinctly Frisian, used chiefly for men, though occasional modern unisex use occurs. Variants and cognates include Rink, Rienk, Rienke, Reinke, Rincke, and the surnames Rinke/Reinke. Depending on the underlying source name, the meaning centers on "ruler, power" or "wise counsel," giving Rinke an appealing blend of strength and prudence.
