History & Origin

Renika is a coined American girls' name built from a Re- opening and a light -nika ending. It has no fixed etymology; like Tanika and Shanika, it belongs to the inventive naming style of its era, valuing melody over a traceable origin.

It was among the rarer names here, given to only a couple dozen girls a year in a short window from the early nineteen-seventies into the nineties. A girl named Renika then would be in her fifties today.
