Etilka is Hungarian in Origin.

Etilka is a rare Central European feminine name, likely a regional variant of Hungarian Etelka. The -ka ending is a common affectionate suffix in Hungarian and neighboring Slavic languages. Etelka was coined as the feminine of Etele, the Hungarian vernacular of Attila; thus Etilka traces to the Gothic elements atta “father” + -ila, usually interpreted as “little father.” Some families also use Etilka as a pet form of Ethel‑ names, which carry the Old English meaning “noble.”

Usage appears sporadically in 19th–20th‑century records from the former Austro‑Hungarian realm and among descendants abroad. Close variants and relatives include Etelka (standard), Ethelka, and the masculine Etele and Attila. Short forms include Eti, Etti, and Tilka. Rare today, Etilka offers a vintage, continental sound while preserving ties to both leadership and nobility in meaning.
