Tomekia is a unique and attractive female given name of African American origin. It consists of two elements, "Tom," derived from Thomas, meaning "twin" in Aramaic, and "eka," a Yoruba word that signifies "first-born." Thus, Tomekia roughly translates to "the first twin" or "the first-born." This moniker is not commonly found in popular culture, which allows it to stand out as a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name.
The name Tomekia saw a peak in popularity between the years of 1973 to 1977, with a high of 84 births in 1975. After this period, the number of births annually began to decrease significantly, reaching as low as 6 births in 1985 and remaining relatively low thereafter. Over the span of these years (1968-1991), there were a total of 709 babies named Tomekia.
