Kimika is a unisex given name of Japanese origin, derived from the word "kimikagokoro" meaning "pure heart." In Japan, it has been traditionally used for both boys and girls, reflecting the country's historical fluidity in gender assignment for names. However, in recent years, Kimika has gained more popularity as a feminine name, possibly influenced by its sound and its association with purity. The name Kimika consists of two kanji characters: "kimi," meaning "you" or "prince/princess," and "ka," representing "shell." Together, they convey the idea of a protective and caring nature. Despite its growing recognition in Japan, Kimika remains relatively rare globally, making it unique and distinctive for those who bear it.
"Between 1973 and 1990, the name Kimika was given to a total of 104 babies, with the most popular year being 1981 when it was given to 19 newborns."
