Meaning & History
Vaike is a female given name of Estonian origin. It derives from the Estonian word vaikus, meaning "silence, calm". The name was coined by the writer Andres Saal for a character in his 1889 story Vambola. Saal created Vaike to convey a sense of tranquility and peacefulness, which is reflected in its meaning. Although relatively rare, Vaike remains in use in Estonia as a given name.
