Shemikka is in Origin.

Shemikka is a modern feminine given name that emerged in late 20th-century U.S. usage, especially within African American communities, and is also seen in Caribbean diasporic circles. It most commonly functions as a creative spelling of Shemika/Shameka, part of the broader Sha-/She- naming wave of the 1970s-1990s. The -mikka/-mika element echoes Mika or Tamika: Mika is linked to Hebrew Michael ("who is like God?") and to Japanese kanji readings such as "beautiful fragrance," while Tamika/Tameka helped popularize the -mika sound in English-speaking contexts.

Variants include Shemika, Shemeika, Shemeeka, Shemeka, Shemekka, Shameka, Shameeka, Shamika, and Shemyka; nicknames include Shemi and Mika. Some hear the Hebrew Shem ("name, renown") in the initial syllable, though this influence is likely phonetic rather than direct. As a contemporary coinage, Shemikka carries no fixed traditional meaning; families often embrace blended associations of beauty, fragrance, divine likeness, or personal renown.
