Affreeka is English in Origin.

Affreeka is a contemporary, emphatic respelling of Africa (ah-FREE-kah), a toponymic given name from Latin Africa, the Roman province. The root likely comes from the ethnonym Afri, with debated links to Berber ifri (cave), Phoenician/Punic afar (dust/earth), or Latin aprica (sunny), yielding senses such as “African,” “of the sunny land,” or “from the earth.”

As a personal name, Africa/África appears in Spanish-speaking countries via devotion to the Virgen de África and sporadically in early modern English records; the related Afra was borne by a 4th-century martyr of Augsburg and means “woman of Africa.” In the 20th century, diaspora communities adopted Afrika- or Affreeka-style spellings as affirmations of heritage and pride. Variants and relatives include Africa, África, Afrika, Affrika, Afreeka, and Afra; modern nicknames include Free and Rika. Usage today is rare but recognizable and generally feminine, though unisex in contemporary contexts.
