Flink is a surname found in Germany and Sweden. The word means "nimble, agile" in the languages of both countries. there are also places in Southern Sweden called Flinka, East F. and West F. Could one of these be a source?

Actually, there are some small places in Finland too with the name Flinkas.

Oh, I see. Thank you, Jim. It didn't sound german (for me), but I think it is then. (She uses the German national football team shirt sometimes, but I was not sure.)
