eikka

Eikka is a Finnish masculine given name and nickname. It is used in Finland and among Finnish-speaking communities, where it may function as a formal given name or as a familiar form of longer names.

In Finnish onomastics, Eikka is often treated as a diminutive or affectionate variant. Its exact historical origin is not definitively established, but it is commonly associated with names beginning with the E- sound, such as Erik (Erik) or Eero, and often appears with the -kka suffix typical of Finnish nicknames. The relationship is primarily linguistic and cultural rather than official.

Eikka has been borne by several individuals in Finland, particularly in earlier generations, but it remains a recognizable cultural name rather than a common modern choice. It is rarely used as a surname.

The name has appeared in Finnish works of literature and media as a representative male given name, reflecting its traditional and familiar tone.
