Devika is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'the goddess'. It has been used historically as a royal title and also as a personal name. The name Devika is composed of two elements: 'Devi', which means 'goddess' or 'female deity', and 'ka', a suffix that denotes 'belonging to'. Therefore, the name Devika can be interpreted as 'belonging to the goddess'. In India, this name has been traditionally bestowed upon daughters of noble birth or those born with exceptional circumstances. Today, it is also used as a modern given name in various cultures around the world.
"Devika's popularity as a baby girl name has shown significant fluctuations over the past four decades. While it peaked at 26 births in 1993 and again at 24 in 2004, there have been several years with only single-digit births. In recent years, it seems to be maintaining a steady popularity with around 16-18 births annually."
