History & Origin
Demeka is a coined American girls' name that appears in United States records in the early 1970s. It joins the De- prefix to the -meka ending of Tameka and Tomeka, part of a wave of freshly built names among Black American families. It carries no fixed dictionary meaning; the sound is the point.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around the mid-1970s and rare throughout. A woman named Demeka from then is now in her fifties.
