Moneka is a contemporary spelling of Monica/Monika, a name tied to Saint Monica of Hippo (4th century North Africa).

Through her widespread veneration, the name moved across medieval Christian Europe and later gained broad international use, with the Moneka form appearing in English-speaking countries and South Asian communities as a phonetic or stylistic variant.
