History & Origin
Veleka is a coinage without a firmly documented root. Its sound may distantly echo the Slavic velika, 'great', or blend familiar pieces like Vel- (from Velma) with an -eka ending, in the mid-century habit of building fresh feminine names by ear.
It is one of the rarest names in its group, appearing only around 1978 at just a handful of girls a year across a very short span. Veleka reads as a genuine one-off coinage, and honestly there is little more that can be reliably said about its origin.
