Shamikka is Indian in Origin.

Shamikka is a modern American given name, most common in African-American communities, and best understood as a stylized spelling of Shamika/Shameka. Those forms likely arose in the late 20th century by combining the fashionable Sha- prefix with the base -mika/-meeka, and are sometimes linked to the Arabic Shāmikha (meaning “lofty, exalted”). Some also read it through the global nickname Mika, which can carry associations such as “who is like God?” (from Hebrew Michael), though no single etymology is universally agreed.

The name saw most of its use in the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s; Shamikka itself is rare. Variant spellings include Shamika, Shameka, Shameeka, Shamicka, Shamica, and Shamikah; short forms include Mika and Meeka. Typical pronunciation is shuh-MEE-kah. As a contemporary, nontraditional coinage, Shamikka has no established historical bearer set but conveys a modern, elevated sound.
