does anybody know what my name means?
Since i have been a little girl people have asked me " what does your name mean, where does it come from" and i have no answer.
I have been wondering though...... it is not a usual dutch name and i have never ever met anybody else with the same name.
I have been surfing the net but somehow no site tells me what my name means..... it is not evenlisted on this site.
can anybody out there help me?

Riquette seems the feminine of Ricky, or a short form of Henriette...

Maybe your parents just made the name up!

All I could dig up is: RIQUE (or Rikwe) from Low German RIK (reign) and Old Saxon WIH (holy). -ETTE sounds like a French diminutive. But all of this is only guessing.
