Meaning & origin

Timika first entered U.S. birth records in 1967, a product of the creative naming trends of the era. Its peak year was 1976, during the height of the 'Tamika' variant wave. The name has since maintained a stable but very low usage, with fewer than five births per year in recent decades. Its origin is likely a modern American invention, possibly influenced by the fashionable -ika suffix. The name has never ranked in the national Top 1000, and its usage has remained concentrated within African American communities.

Timika first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1967 and peaked in popularity in 1976, primarily within African American communities. It is likely a modern invented name, possibly formed from the fashionable -ika suffix found in names like Tamika and Monika, or a creative respelling of Tamika.
