Heiki

Heiki is an Estonian masculine given name derived from the Germanic name Heinrich, itself composed of the Old High German elements haim, meaning home, and rihhi, meaning power or ruler, giving an overall sense of ruler of the home or lord of the estate. It entered Estonian use as a vernacular adaptation of the widespread European name that spread through medieval Christian Europe largely due to the influence of numerous Holy Roman Emperors and kings bearing the name. Heiki is thus the Estonian equivalent of forms such as Henrik, Hendrik, and Henri found in neighboring Scandinavian and Germanic languages.
