History & Origin

Andreka feminizes Andrea, from the Greek andreios, 'brave' or 'manly,' by adding the fashionable -ka ending. It belongs to the family of American coinages that reshaped familiar roots with new suffixes in the late twentieth century. The core meaning is Andrea's; the ending is stylistic.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1991, and it faded soon after. A girl named Andreka then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? The -ka ending that turns Andrea into Andreka was a favorite finishing touch on invented girls' names in the nineteen-eighties and nineties, seen also in Tameka, Shaneka, and Laneka.
