Menachema is Hebrew in Origin.

Menachema is a rare Hebrew feminine given name built on Menachem, from the Semitic root N-CH-M (nacham) meaning "to comfort, console." Its sense is "comforter" or "one who brings consolation," paralleling the well-established masculine Menachem.

Although Menachem appears in the Bible (King Menahem of Israel) and throughout rabbinic and medieval Jewish usage, the explicitly feminine Menachema is a modern formation shaped by Hebrew/Yiddish feminization patterns and occasionally chosen to honor a relative named Menachem (or the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson) while giving a daughter her own form. The name remains uncommon in Israel and the diaspora, where the related female Nechama ("consolation") is far more widespread. Variant spellings include Menakhema, Menahema, and Menachemah; a closely related Hebrew participial form is Menachemet. Cognates and counterparts: Menachem (m.), Nechama (f.), and the thematically linked Menucha ("rest"). A simple nickname is Mena.
