Emeka
From Igbo eme, "do", and ka, "to a great degree": "he has done well", usually as a clipped form of a longer name such as Chukwuemeka.
Meaning and origin
Emeka joins the verb eme, "to do", with the comparative element ka, "to exceed, to a great degree", so the two syllables together read as "has done well" or "has achieved much".
