Tomoka is a Japanese feminine given name, pronounced TOH-mo-kah, typically written in hiragana as ともか or in katakana as トモカ. Its meaning varies with the kanji: 友香 (“friend; fragrance”), 智香 (“wisdom; fragrance”), 知佳 (“knowledge; excellence”), 朋花 (“companion; flower”), or 智夏 (“wisdom; summer”) are among common choices, conveying blends of virtue with natural beauty or seasonality. This flexibility lets families tailor nuance while keeping the same sound.

Use of Tomoka has been documented since the 20th century and rose in late Shōwa through Heisei eras (roughly 1970s–2000s), paralleling preferences for gentle -ka endings and positive, nature-evoking characters; it remains familiar but not overused today. Variants include the related Tomoko (ともこ, with -ko “child”), and similar-sounding Momoka; diminutives such as Tomo and Moka are common. Romanization is usually Tomoka, and the name may be written solely in hiragana for a softer, modern look.
