Shemeca
Meaning of Shemeca
Shemeca is a female given name that first surfaced in U.S. Social Security records in 1976. Although its precise etymology remains elusive, it appears to blend the Sha- prefix—recalling names like Shauna or Shakira—with the suffix -mica, which in Persian craftsmanship evokes the delicate mineral mica and its subtly iridescent sheen. Pronounced shuh-MEE-kuh (/ʃəˈmiːkə/), the name reached its peak in 1980 when fourteen newborns were registered under it (national rank 773). Throughout the early 1980s, Shemeca hovered modestly between ranks 756 and 808, never threatening the top hundred—an unassuming performance that may appeal to parents favoring understatement over vogue. With its balanced consonant-vowel structure and artisanal undercurrent, Shemeca offers a quietly glimmering choice for those seeking a distinctive yet harmonious name.
