What is the meaning of the name Maka ?

The baby name Maka is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MAH-kah (IPA: /ˈmɑkə/).

Maka is Georgian, Hawaiian in Origin.

Maka spans several languages and cultures. In Lakota/Dakota, Makȟá (also rendered Maka or Makha) means “earth,” a sacred concept that appears in personal and place names and has occasionally been adopted as a given name. Across Polynesia, including Tongan, maka denotes “stone/rock,” while in Hawaiian maka means “eye,” “face,” and by extension “fresh/new,” making it a nature‑word name in those traditions.

In Japan, Maka is a feminine name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen, such as 真花 “true flower,” 茉花 “jasmine flower,” or 麻花 “flax flower”; its visibility increased via the character Maka Albarn. The name also occurs in Georgia as a well‑established feminine given name, sometimes used independently or as a short form of longer names beginning with Mak-. Variants are language‑specific: Lakota Makȟá/Makha and Japanese spellings as above. Usage is unisex in Indigenous and Polynesian contexts, but chiefly feminine in Japan and Georgia.
