Sheniqua is a feminine name of American creation and a spin on the more popular Shaniqua. While it packs plenty of beauty on its own, this name can also be a blend of many different names. The first syllable can come from the Hebrew Shen, meaning “tooth,” or the Irish Shannon, meaning “old,” “ancient,” or “wise.” This can give the name a sharp edge to it, while encouraging baby’s old soul and wise mind. It may also be influenced by the Arabic name Shaan, meaning “greatness” or “importance.” The second half may come from the Arabic name Aniqah, meaning “elegant” or “stylish.” If you want to remind your little one that they’re destined for grace and greatness, Shaniqua makes for a lovely fit. Baby would also be sharing their name with British actress Shaniqua Okwok and Bahamian sprinter Sheniqua Ferguson. Whether baby’s calling is in sports or on stage, Sheniqua can provide plenty of inspiration.
