[Facts] Meaning of the name
Well, I am basically just interested in the meaning of my name, Rika. The gender is female and unfortunately I am not sure about the origin. I know that the homophone of ‘rika’ in Russian (unfortunately I’m also not certain about the spelling in Russian) means river…I do not know if this will help.Thanx

Hi Rika,I guess your name is the short form of Frederike/-a, which -like Frederik- means 'peaceful ruler' - nice, isn't it!Lulu
p.s: have a look at my homepage http://www.geocities.com/lulu_swizz/Names.html - I could need your help too!

On this side of the Mississippi Rika is used as short for Erika and Marika (a form of Maria).

It's also a term used to describe the aroma on a crowded Istanbul city bus in August.
