Heiko

Heiko is a Low German and Frisian short form of names beginning with the Germanic element hag, meaning enclosure or hedged area, or alternatively derived from Hein, itself a contracted form of Heinrich, the German equivalent of Henry. The name has been used predominantly in Germany and the Netherlands, enjoying particular popularity in the mid-twentieth century. Related forms include Heike, which functions as both a feminine and masculine variant, alongside the broader family of Heinrich-derived names such as Heinz and Henk.
