God is gracious
Shenika is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the prefix 'She-' with the name Nika. Nika itself is often a diminutive of Nicole or Veronica, but in this context, it is frequently associated with the Russian diminutive of John (Yannika), leading to the meaning 'God is gracious'.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Shenika in 2025.
