Estonian Names that Start With R

Riks is a masculine name with Scandinavian and Dutch linguistic roots. It likely derives from the Germanic element 'ric' meaning 'power,' 'rule,' or 'ruler,' which appears in many Germanic names. In Swedish and Dutch contexts, it may be a shortened form of names containing this element, such as Richard, Frederik, or Hendrik. Riks may also relate to the Swedish word 'riksdag' (parliament) or Dutch 'rijks' (state/national), giving it associations with governance and authority. The name's brevity and strong consonant ending give it a modern, minimalist appeal, though it remains quite uncommon internationally. Its simplicity and cross-cultural potential may attract parents seeking a distinctive yet straightforward name.
