A modern invented name, likely a feminine form of Jerome
Jermeka is a modern American coinage, likely created by combining the masculine name Jerome with the popular African American suffix -eka. Jerome is derived from the Greek name Hieronymos, meaning 'sacred name.' As a contemporary invention, it does not have a singular ancient etymology but reflects a tradition of rhythmic, unique naming in the United States.
