Meaning & origin
Meeka is a modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1970. It reached its peak popularity in 2014, ranking 10,917th in 2025, with about 1 in every 200,908 girls receiving the name. Its trajectory shows declining usage since 2014. Meeka fits a pattern of creative respellings of established names like Mika, itself a diminutive of Michael. While its Hebrew connection lends a subtle spiritual resonance, Meeka is largely a contemporary invention, embraced by parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive alternative to more common names.
Meeka likely emerged as a modern spelling variant of Mika, itself a feminine diminutive of Michael, from the Hebrew Mikha'el ('who is like God?'). The name appears sporadically in U.S. records since 1970, with most usage in the 2010s. It follows a trend of respelling established names to create distinctive but intuitive forms.
