Indrek

Indrek is an Estonian masculine given name that developed as a vernacular adaptation of the Germanic name Heinrich, which derives from the Old High German elements haim, meaning home, and rīhhi, meaning ruler or power, giving an overall sense of ruler of the home. The name entered Estonian use through centuries of German cultural and administrative influence in the Baltic region. It is the Estonian equivalent of Henrik and Henry, and shares its ultimate root with cognates such as Hendrik, Heinz, and Henryk across various European languages.
