The underlying meaning is “he will laugh” or “laughter,” a reference to the biblical etymology. As a compact, two-syllable name, Ikka carries a bright, upbeat feel that echoes its joyous root meaning.

Usage is rare but documented in Finland and among Nordic-influenced communities, where short, double-consonant forms are familiar.

Note that in Japanese, “ikka” can mean “one family/household,” though it is not a customary given name there; this semantic overlap sometimes appeals to parents seeking cross-cultural resonance.
