Ellke Origin and Meaning

The name Ellke is a girl's name.

Ellke is a feminine given name with Germanic and Dutch origins. It is a variant spelling of Elke, which derives from the Germanic name element 'adal' meaning 'noble' or possibly from a short form of names containing 'Adel-' or 'Ail-'. Though uncommon internationally, Ellke has maintained a quiet presence primarily in northern European countries, particularly in regions with Dutch, German, or Frisian influences. The double 'l' spelling gives the name a distinctive touch while maintaining its soft, melodic sound. While not widely used, Ellke offers parents seeking a name with European heritage an uncommon choice with elegant simplicity and cultural depth.
