Nejka

Nejka is a given name, primarily used as a female given name in Slavic countries. Its exact etymology is not definitively established, but it is often considered a diminutive or variant of longer names such as Nedeljka or a related name. Nedeljka itself derives from the Slavic word "nedelja," meaning "Sunday" or "week." Therefore, Nejka can carry connotations of "born on Sunday" or be a term of endearment. The name is most commonly found in countries like Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. While not among the most frequently occurring names, Nejka has a consistent presence and is recognized within these cultures. Its usage can be seen across various generations. As with many diminutive forms, Nejka can also be used as a nickname for other names, though its primary identity remains as a standalone given name. The pronunciation is generally straightforward, with emphasis typically falling on the first syllable.
