What is the meaning of the name Eka ?

The baby name Eka is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EE-kah.

Eka is Georgian, Greek, Indonesian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Eka has two principal etymologies. In South and Southeast Asian use it reflects Sanskrit eka, Vedic Sanskrit éka-, the cardinal numeral one, single; in Indonesian it functions as a learned borrowing from Sanskrit and often carries the extended sense first. In Georgian, however, Eka is a familiar short form of Ekaterine, from Greek Aikaterinē; that Greek name’s original etymology is debated, with the later association with katharos, pure, secondary.

Sanskrit eka appears in Hindu philosophical and grammatical vocabulary, and Indonesian personal names use Eka for both sexes, often in compounds and sometimes with birth-order force. The Javanese masculine form Eko is closely related in modern Indonesian naming. In Georgia, Eka is normally feminine because of its link to Ekaterine, the local form of Katherine; Eka Darville and Indonesian businessman Eka Tjipta Widjaja illustrate the name’s cross-cultural use. Outside these regions it remains uncommon.
