US Popularity:11132
Origin:Persian
Meaning:Unlike any other in the world, unique
A subtle nod to ancient, poetic royalty, Neka is a feminine name ideal for a true one-of-a-kind star. Neka is a variation of Nestan, which stems from the title Nestan-Darejan, which was created by the iconic Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli. He invented this name for the princess in his 12th-century epic poem The Knight in the Panther's Skin. This meaningful moniker comes from the Persian phrase nīst andar jahān and crowns your little one as "unlike any other in the world" or, more simply, "unique."
