Avika (अविका) is a modern girls' name; a well-known bearer is the actor Avika Gor. Name lists usually give "earth" or "sunrise", and sometimes "diamond". The exact Sanskrit word avikā, recorded by Monier-Williams from the Ṛgveda on, means a ewe, the feminine of avika, "sheep"; the dictionary also lists a neuter avika meaning "diamond". We found no source for "earth" or "sunrise", which may be borrowed from similar names such as Avani, "earth". It is not documented whether the name was formed from avikā, so its meaning remains uncertain.
