Means "earth, ground, soil" in Lakota. In Oglala Lakota (Sioux) mythology, Makȟá (less correctly spelled Maka) was created by Íŋyaŋ ("stone"), then given the spirit Makȟá-akáŋl ("earth goddess").
Short form of feminine Georgian names that start with Ma-, such as Makrine, Margalita and Mariam.Notable Georgian bearers of this name include the former First Lady Maka Chichua (b. 1971), the tennis player Margalita "Maka" Chakhnashvili (b. 1982) and Maka Jokhadze (b. 1948), a writer and playwright.
This is the lead protagonist of the manga and anime series Soul Eater. Her name is written in katakana (the Japanese foreign word writing system), so it has no meaning whatsoever. As a word though, maka means "to scatter, sprinkle, or sow seeds" in Japanese (which has nothing to do with her as far as I know).
