History & Origin

Matika surfaced in the mid nineteen-seventies and reached its modest high around 1990.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak. A girl named Matika then would be in her forties today. The name carries a crisp, three-beat sound and fits neatly among the -ika names of its era.

Did you know? The -ika ending it shares with Danika, Tanika, and Monika was a favored sound of late-century naming, giving names a bright, bouncing close.
