History & Origin
Tomeika is a phonetic spelling of Tomika, part of the Tameka and -ika sound-family of coined feminines. Names of this kind were shaped for melody and individuality within the rich African-American naming tradition, and no single classical root explains them.
It was always modest, running at a few dozen girls a year and cresting faintly around 1975 before fading by the early 1990s. Tomeika reads as an honest period coinage rather than a name with a documented lineage, and it has not entered any revival.
