Erikia, of Scandinavian origin, is a unique and captivating feminine form of the Old Norse male name Eric. This name gained popularity during the Viking Age, reflecting the influence of Norse culture on Western Europe at that time. It is composed of two elements: 'Eri-', meaning 'eternal' or 'always', and '-kja', a suffix often associated with femininity in Old Norse names. Erikia was relatively uncommon outside Scandinavia until recent years, but it has since seen a gradual increase in usage, particularly in English-speaking countries.
The name Erikia experienced a 24-year gap between its two recorded birth years, with five births each in 1970 and 1992, resulting in a total of ten babies named Erikia born over that period.
