Mayuka is Japanese in Origin.

Mayuka is a cross-cultural given name with two principal roots. In Japanese, it is a modern feminine name whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen: 真優花 (“true, gentle, flower”), 真由香 (“true, reason, fragrance”), 真由花 (“true, reason, flower”), 麻友香 (“hemp/flax, friend, fragrance”), among others. These combinations match late 20th–early 21st century naming trends favoring soft sounds (ma‑yu‑ka) and nature or virtue imagery, so its use is contemporary rather than traditionally established.

In South Asia, Mayuka relates to Sanskrit mayūkha, “ray, beam, radiance,” a classical poetic term for sun- or moonbeams; the cognate forms Mayukha and Mayukh have long appeared as given names, typically masculine. Mayuka itself is also used, sometimes as a feminized variant. Variants include Mayukha/Mayukh in the Indic tradition and the diverse Japanese kanji spellings noted above. Depending on origin, the name conveys either luminous “ray of light” imagery or layered meanings of truth, gentleness, fragrance, and flowers.
