Japanese (pronounced as two syllables): variously written possible meanings are 井下 ‘(one who lives) below the well’ or 位下 ‘lowest rank’. The name could also be a mispronunciation of 池 Ike ‘lake’. It is not common in Japan. English: probably a habitational name from Eyke in Suffolk. The placename is pronounced /aik/ and derives from Old Norse eik ‘oak tree’.
