The first name 
Aika

Aika is a first name for girls.

Aika – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a girl named Aika in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Aika in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Aika by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Aika ranks at #8,560. That means there are 8,559 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Aika.
