Hauke

Hauke, pronounced [ˈhaukə], is a fairly common Frisian masculine given name. According to onomatologist Rienk de Haan, this name developed from a reduced form of Germanic names starting with either Habuk- (meaning "hawk") or with Hug- (meaning "brain"). If the last etymology is correct, Hauke would be the Frisian version of Hugo, a name popular in northern Germany. In the West Frisian language, masculine given names can usually be adapted to equivalent feminine given names. In the case of Hauke, this is accomplished by dropping the voiceless final syllable and adding a diminutive suffix in its place (in this case -je), resulting in Haukje. This is a reasonably common name in the Dutch province of Friesland, though often spelled Houkje, as Hauke is often spelled Houke there.Most probably the name (both as a given name and as last name) may have been derived directly from the German verb hauen - meaning "to hew", "to bash" - and means someone who hews or bashes, e.g. a "forest worker" or most probable a synonym for a "warrior". This may also explain the presence of this name in Poland, which was a victim of German invasions since the Wendish Crusade and Teutonic Order.
