Likha is Filipino in Origin.

Likha is a cross-cultural given name with two primary etymologies. In Tagalog (Filipino), likha means “creation; something made,” from the verb likhain “to create,” giving the name an artistic, inventive aura. In Indo-Aryan usage, it relates to Sanskrit likh “to write”: Lekha denotes “writing, inscription” and Likhita means “written,” so Likha is interpreted as “written” or “recorded,” sometimes extending to the idea of destiny - what is written.

As a modern given name, Likha appears in the Philippines in recent decades amid interest in native vocabulary names, and in South Asia as a streamlined variant alongside Lekha (feminine) and Likhit/Likhita (masculine/feminine), with South Asian use leaning feminine. Notable variants and cognates include Lekha, Likhita, Likitha, Likhit, and Lekhan. The name’s blend of “creation” and “writing” evokes artistry, authorship, and purpose, making it a concise, culture-spanning choice.
