What is the meaning of the name Lika ?

The baby name Lika is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈliːkə/ (LEE-kah).

Lika is Armenian, Georgian, Slavic in Origin.

Lika is a compact feminine name found across the Caucasus and Slavic worlds. In Georgian (ლიკა) it stands as an independent given name, while in Russian and Ukrainian it often functions as a hypocoristic - most commonly for Angelika and, by extension, other names ending in -lika or -nika. When derived from Angelika, its meaning traces to Greek angelos, “messenger; angel”; if shortened from Veronika, it links to Greek Bereníkē, “victory-bringer” (with a secondary folk reading “true image”). As a standalone Georgian name, Lika carries a modern, bright sound rather than a fixed etymology.

Use rose in the late Soviet and post-Soviet decades, aided by public figures such as Georgian actress Lika Kavzharadze, and it remains familiar in Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine. Variants and related forms include Lyka (modern respelling), the Cyrillic Лика, and longer bases Angelika, Veronika, and Monika.
