Jemika is English in Origin.

Jemika is a modern English given name, chiefly feminine, that emerged in the late 20th century in the United States. It appears to be a creative blend built on the element Jem- and the -ika ending, paralleling contemporaries like Tamika and Shamika. The base Jem- can echo Jemma/Gemma (from Latin gemma, "gem") or Jemima (Hebrew yemimah, "dove"), so the name often carries associations of preciousness or peace. In some cases it functions as a variant of Jamika/Jameka.

Because Jemika is a modern coinage, no single historical form dominates. Documented variants include Jamika, Jameka, Jemeka, and Jemica; short forms include Jem, Jemi, and Mika. Usage is rare but recognizable, with many bearers in African-American communities. When linked to the James name group, some interpret it with the traditional meaning "supplanter," though this is secondary to its contemporary, melodic sound.
