Derived from the Polish 'Eryk', which means 'eternal ruler' or 'ruler of the era', Eryka embodies a sense of timeless elegance and strength. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages in Poland but has since become increasingly popular worldwide, offering parents a unique yet meaningful option for their daughters.
The name Eryka experienced significant popularity increases starting from the late 1980s, peaking with 79 births in 1998. However, its usage has since declined, with fewer than 20 births per year recorded since 2014. Overall, there were 1171 babies named Eryka between 1970 and 2019.
