History & Origin

Nautika appears in United States records from the mid-1990s as an inventive word-name, spun from nautical and its Greek root nautes, 'sailor.' Parents chose it for its airy, ocean-tinged sound.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-1990s high. A girl named Nautika then is in her late twenties now; the name remains a rare, of-its-era word-coinage.
