Mokka is in Origin.

Mokka traces to Arabic al-Mukha, the Yemeni Red Sea port that lent its name to prized coffee exported to Europe. Via Italian moka and German/Scandinavian/Hungarian mokka, the term became a byword for coffee and a deep cocoa-tinted color; the double k reflects those languages' spelling. As a given name, Mokka conveys aromas of warmth, energy, and velvety richness, with a modern, color-name feel. Pronounced MOH-kah and typically unisex.

Documented in Europe since the 18th-19th centuries as a beverage and flavor word, Mokka entered occasional given-name use only in the late 20th century, especially in Nordic and German-speaking contexts and among global coffee enthusiasts. Variants and cognates include Mocha (English), Moka (Italian/Spanish and Japanese romanization), and Mokha/Mukha (Arabic transliterations of the place-name). Common short forms are Mo and Moka/Mocha as playful spellings. Rare but distinctive, it carries a cosmopolitan, earthy vibe.
