Sharikia is Hindi in Origin.

Sharikia is a modern feminine given name, most likely coined in the United States as an elaboration of Shari with the popular suffix -kia/-kiya. Shari itself is used as a diminutive of Sarah (“princess” in Hebrew) or a variant of Sharon (“plain, meadow” in Hebrew). The form also overlaps with Sharika - attested in South Asian and Arabic contexts (Sanskrit śārika, “myna bird,” and Arabic roots related to “partner/companion”) - and with Shakira (Arabic, “thankful”), giving the name a cosmopolitan feel even if its creation is contemporary.

Usage appears rare and largely late–20th-century onward, especially in African-American naming traditions favoring inventive blends and rhythmic endings. Variants and stylizations include Sharikia, Shari’Kia, ShaRikia, Sherikia, Sharikiya, and Sharikyah; related forms are Sharika and Shakira. Nicknames include Shari, Riki/Rikki, and Kia. As a modern blend, Sharikia’s meaning is interpretive, often read through its components as “princess,” “meadow,” or “thankful.”
