Demika

Demika appears to be a modern given name that emerged in the United States in the latter part of the 20th century. The name may be constructed from the prefix "De-" (which appears in many names and can mean "from" or "of" in Latin-derived terms) combined with "Mika," which has roots in multiple languages including as a diminutive of Michael (Hebrew, meaning "who is like God") or as a standalone name in Japanese and other languages. The name gained some usage in the 1980s and 1990s but remained relatively uncommon. It follows a phonetic pattern seen in several contemporary American names with the melodic combination of consonants and vowels and the "ka" ending. Various spelling variations might include Damika or Demeka.

Pronounced duh-MEE-kuh.

As of October 2026, Demika ranked #15979 for girls in US births in 2001 SSA, peaked at #3422 for girls in 1975.
