Cheeka is in Origin.

Cheeka (pronounced CHEE-kah) is a very rare modern given name and affectionate nickname. In many cases it's a playful English respelling of Spanish chica “girl,” giving it an easy, bright meaning. The spelling also intersects with Chika, a pan-cultural name: in Igbo it abbreviates theophoric names with Chi- “God,” often glossed as “God is greater/above”; in Japanese it depends on kanji, commonly “wisdom,” “knowledge,” “thousand,” or “near,” sometimes paired with “fragrance” or “flower.”

As a formal first name, Cheeka surfaces in late 20th century records and popular culture, more often as a pet name within families. It remains uncommon in official statistics. Related variants include Chica (Spanish) and Chika (Igbo/Japanese), with Japanese elaborations such as Chikako or Chikae. Usage skews feminine in Spanish-influenced contexts but is effectively unisex where linked to Chika.
