| Hi Greg-
I think Marika is a name coming from Hungary, but I don't know what
it means either.
Maybe it doesn't have any meaning at all.
Bye-
Birgit(a name without meaning as well)

| I think it's an Arabic name but don't know what it means!
Mine is unusual too --> Magida pronounced (Ma-gee-da) which means "Glory".
I have 2 sisters named Raghida meaning "Happiness" and
Hala meaning "Joy".

| 325.3 | Mari-ka | CESARE::ELIAG | Graziella Elia | Wed Jan 04 1989 06:21 | 16 |
| Hello from Italy!!
We use Marika as a sort of nickname for Maria Carla. Maria being Mary and
Carla being the female for Charles. I suppose you can also think at Carla as
the female for the German Karl (Charles).
Actually I suspect it doesn't come from any eastern countries like Hungary
or Arabia. Not here in Italy, anyway!!
re .2
Magida, Raghida, Hala they sound superb both for the meaning
and for the sound!! They make me thinking
of India (maybe dreaming .. to be honest)
Ciao

| 325.4 | Marika is Astonian | PRYDE::BATISTA | | Mon Jan 09 1989 07:45 | 12 |
| My girlfriend's name is Marika. It is Astonian (from the country
Astonia) which is a very very small country between Switzerland
or Holland (somewhere around there). The correct pronounciation
is accent on the a in Mar, not the i. Not: Mareeka, but more like
Maurika. But I've always pronounced it the former. I think it
is a very pretty name. Also, her two brothers are named Arne,
pronounced: Arna, and Taavo.
Well, I hope this answers your question about the name Marika.

| At long last, thank you very much everybody for all of the help
given. I'm sure my wife will be thrilled to know that we have been
pronouncing the name properly [ accent on the a ].
We thought it is a pretty name also, and after we did name her,
the question came up what does it mean and what nationality? Now
we can narrow our search for the meaning.
Again, thank you very much,
greg

| I've known quite a bit of Germans with the name Marika. The
"r" is sort of rolled in the throat sort of like the French do.
So it may be of German origin. It is also spelled with a "k"
which many German names are spelled with, such as, Monika and Erik.

-< One more reply... >-
sorry that I am replying so late on this one, I had finally given up
hope on being able to locate the meaning of her name. We had checked
towards Norwegian, as well as Astonian, but had not thought of German.
Perhaps one day we shall find the meaning. I hope that whatever it is,
it is appropriate.
Marika has turned out to be such a sweet young girl, with a keen
curiosity, and a stubborness that will do nationalities proud, such as
Scottish (me), Indian (my wife), German, and I'm certain others would
be able to relate as well.
She has proven to be very curious, but at the same time shy (�) at
approaching new and different things, of which we have ernestly
encouraged her to always try.
She is eagerly looking forward to her fourth birthday and is constantly
reminding us of what "she is going to get for her birthday `yeah,
right, we'll see'".
Anyway, thank you Julie for your response, we will check in this
direction.
Cheers,
Greg & Sonja
