History & Origin

Demika is a coined American girl's name assembled from the De- prefix and a -mika ending. It stayed rare throughout, touching a small high around 1975.

Given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak, it faded by the early two-thousands. A girl named Demika at that high would be in her late forties today. The name reads as a creative, personal choice of its decade.

Did you know? The -mika ending links Demika to popular names like Tamika and Shamika, while the De- prefix ties it to Deandra and Deshawn, a pattern of building fresh names from familiar rhythmic parts.
