Etymology

From Old Norse Áki, diminutive of Proto-Norse *ᚨᚾᚢᛉ (anuR, “"ancestor"”)(as in the first part of the name Olaf). By folk etymology sometimes associated with Swedish åka (“ride”), as in Åke-Tor, an epithet of the thunder god Thor. Formerly an eastern Danish name (in what is now southern Sweden) restricted to the gentry. Cognate with Danish and Norwegian Aage, Åge.
