Elkie

Elkie is an anglicized form of Elke, a German, Dutch, and Frisian diminutive of Adelheid, likely created by adding the -ke suffix, following the style of similar choices like Tineke or Maike. In this case, it word mean "noble", though another potential source is from the Yiddish Elke, a feminine form of the Biblical Elkanah meaning "God has purchased".

As an English name, you could potentially call Elkie an animal name too, in reference to the large deer species.

Similar in sound to Elsie, it may appeal to those who like the vintage name, but want something sharper and more distinctive.

Pronounced EL-kee.
