Eikka is Finnish in Origin.

Eikka is a Finnish masculine name most commonly used as an affectionate diminutive. It typically shortens Eino or Einari, names tied to Old Norse Einar (ein "one" + arr "warrior"), so the sense "lone warrior" or "single combatant" underlies Eikka. In some families it also serves as a pet form of Eerik (Erik), which would connect it to the meaning "ever-ruler" (from ei "ever" + ríkr "ruler").

Usage is concentrated in Finland. The form gained currency in the 20th century as a friendly byname and has occasionally been registered as an independent given name in recent decades, remaining uncommon but warmly familiar. Related variants and cognates include Eino, Einari, Einar (Norse/Swedish), Eerik and Erik; Finnish short forms in the same orbit are Eero and Erkki, with Erkka as a parallel diminutive to Eikka. Rare spelling Eika belongs to unrelated Japanese naming.
