ArchivesRe: the meaning of Sheneka (sheneeka, shenika, etc)
in reply to a message by Sheneka
She’s not being a hater. And if she is, how so?
I found little to nothing about Sheneka. I seen “Queen of the pure ones”, “God is gracious”, “God is grace”, and that’s it. I also see there’s an actor with that name. Black version of Virgin Mary? I definitely don’t know about that. The closest I can see to that is maybe Isis. Which is a legitimate African originated name from Mythology. Some might even say that was the influence to Christianity in itself. If the Virgin Mary thing was true, I’m sure Sheneka would be much more popular. Especially among the Black community.
Anyways, Anneza is correct. Sometimes when a name has little to no etymology and is purely made up usally out of ignorance or to make people feel a little better, they make something up to make it more interesting. It’s kind of like how people say Madison means “butterfly” when it just means “son of Maud”, which is a pretty wack meaning for a girl. Or how Nevaeh means “heaven”, when really it’s just a word backwards and was just stamped as a name not too long ago.
There’s nothing wrong with a name being made up. Not everybody needs to use Ancient names. That’s why we make new ones! Many Authors did it. You can’t choose your name or it’s history at the end of the day. You just gonna deal with it. Sheneka probably means something, but we don’t know.
