History & Origin

Timeka is a made name of the later twentieth century, a Ti- form in the -meka sound-family that also gave Tameka, Tamika and Shameka. It belongs to the creative African American naming fashion of the era rather than to an older word, and appears in United States records from the late nineteen-sixties.

Timeka reached its high point in 1978 and slipped back within a decade, the tight arc typical of these coinages. It reads as a name of the seventies and eighties worn by women now in their forties, and is not part of any revival.

Did you know? Timeka belongs to the productive -meka naming family of the seventies and eighties — beside Tameka, Tamika and Shameka — a cluster of melodic cousins spun from a shared ending.
