History & Origin

Chameka belongs to that family. It surfaced in the mid nineteen-seventies and reached its modest high around 1977.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak. A girl named Chameka then would be nearing fifty today. The name has a soft, three-beat sound typical of the -meka coinages of its decade.

Did you know? The Cha- opening, shared with Chanel and Chantel, mixed easily with the era's -meka and -mika endings to produce fresh, musical names.
