I know it as the Afrikaans short (nickname) form of Niklaas (variously spelt). Identical with the English Nicky, short for Nicholas, and very close in pronunciation. Logically it should exist in Dutch as well ... but I haven't got proof.All the best

This is only speculation since you haven't given us any of the information Siri has asked for.But names with 'ieke' in them are often Dutch nicknames (Mieke, Marieke for example). Nieke (not Niekie) looks like a Dutch nickname, and a google image search shows that it's used a first name and a surname in the Netherlands.Niekie could potentially be a spelling variation of Nieke, depending on where the person named Niekie lives.

Niekie means `hot Saharan wind` in Hawaiian. Alternatively it could be an Aramaic spelling of Nikki, nickname of Nikita or Nicole.

Sources please!I'm very interested as to how a Hawaiian name would mean "hot Saharan wind" given that it's nowhere near the Sahara. That sounds like a made-up meaning to me.
