History & Origin

Omeka is a contemporary coinage, the Meka element (shared with Tomeka and Tameka) fitted with an O- prefix. These Meka names were invented for sound in mid-century America, and Omeka continues that pattern; its meaning is carried by its rhythm, not an older word.

It surfaced briefly in the nineteen-seventies, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak. A girl named Omeka then is in her late forties or fifties today.

Did you know? Omeka rides the same Meka core as Tameka and Tomeka, popular in the nineteen-seventies, simply reopened with an O- to make a distinct, softer-sounding name.
