Shareeka is American, Arabic in Origin.
The earliest form behind Shareeka is Arabic sharīka, شريكة, the feminine form of sharīk, partner or associate. Both belong to the Semitic consonantal root š-r-k, whose basic verbal sense is to share, participate, or be in partnership. The suffix -a marks the feminine noun/adjective in Arabic, so the literal force is female partner, associate, or one who shares.
As a personal name, Shareeka appears mainly in modern English-language records rather than in the older repertoire of well-attested Arabic given names; Sharika and Sharikah are closer transliterations of the Arabic form.
