Zikeya is an expressive and unique given name of African American origin, derived from the Swahili word 'zikiya', which means 'to remember'. This name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly within the African American community, as parents seek distinctive yet meaningful names for their children. The phonetic pronunciation of Zikeya is /zi-KEY-yah/, with a soft 'z' sound and stressed syllables on the first 'i' and last 'a'. This name has no standard nicknames or variations but can be creatively shortened to Zikay, ZiKay, or Keya based on personal preference. Zikeya has not yet gained widespread recognition as an internationally popular name; however, its cultural significance within African American communities and the broader appeal of Swahili-inspired names may contribute to its gradual growth in usage worldwide.
"Zikeya was given to 7 babies in 1997."
