Meaning and history
Eka has several unrelated origins. In Georgian, ეკა is a feminine short form of Ekaterine, the Georgian form of Katherine; Katherine’s Greek etymology is uncertain, though it was later associated with katharos, “pure.” In Indonesia, Eka is used for both sexes and comes from Sanskrit eka, meaning “one” or “first.” It also appears elsewhere as a nickname or transliteration. Notable bearers include Georgian chess player Eka Kvaratskhelia and Australian actor Eka Darville.
