Ikeya

Uncertain; possibly related to Japanese surnames or modern coinage.

The name Ikeya is rare in the United States. It is most frequently recognized as a Japanese surname meaning 'valley of the pond,' though its use as a feminine given name in the West is often a modern creative coinage or a variation of names like Keiya or Akeya. Due to its rarity, it lacks a singular established etymological history as a first name.
