Shaterika is an uncommon, yet distinctive female given name of African-American origin. It was coined by American hip-hop artist and record producer Pharrell Williams for his younger sister, who was born in the late 1980s. The name Shaterika is believed to be a blend of the names Shateitra and Shakira, with the latter being popularized by Colombian singer and dancer Shakira Mebarak.
"Shaterika experienced a peak in popularity in 1989 with 12 births that year. Otherwise, it was consistently less common, with fewer than 8 births each year from 1986 to 1994."
