Meaning & origin
Omeka is a rare given name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1970. Its peak year of usage was 1976, but even then it remained extremely uncommon, never ranking in national statistics (rank null) and with an unmeasurable 1-in-N rate. The name's trajectory has been stable over recent decades, appearing only occasionally. No top states recorded it with sufficient frequency to list. Its origins are uncertain; it may be a modern coinage or a variant of Omaka, possibly from a Native American language, but this connection is speculative. Given its obscurity, Omeka offers a highly distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with a soft, melodic sound and little historical baggage.
