Deqa is a name of Ethiopian origin, derived from the Amharic word 'deq', which means 'peace'. It is traditionally given to baby girls and has gained popularity beyond Ethiopia in recent years. The name Deqa is often spelled differently depending on the language and culture, including Dekha, Decka, or even Deega. However, its pronunciation remains consistent: /ˈdɛkʌ/ DEK-uh. In Amharic, the official working language of Ethiopia, it is written as ደቀ (deqa). As with many names from Africa, there's a strong connection to cultural heritage and values when one bears the name Deqa. It serves as a constant reminder of peace and harmony, concepts highly valued in Ethiopian culture.
The name Deqa experienced no popularity until 2002 when it suddenly had five births that year.
