It looks like the combination of two names, Ieke and Liene.
The first name seems to be part of a group of Frisian male and female names, listed here as 'Iek', unfortunately without meaning:

There are a lot of short and pet forms of names in Frisian that are used now as an independent, full name, so Ieke might also be one of those.
The second name is seen as a variant of 'Lina', the ending of names like Caronlina used as a given name in its own right:
