Bud or sprout; bright or clear
Meika is often considered a variant of the Japanese name Meika, derived from kanji meaning 'bud' or 'sprout'. In some contexts, it is also viewed as a modern diminutive or variation of names like Mika or Meike, which have Germanic and Dutch roots meaning 'strength' or 'bitter'. It is a rare choice in the United States, offering a fresh, international sound.
