Moka is a feminine name with multiple potential origins.

Alternatively, it could have Japanese origins, where it can mean "fragrance" or "scent." As a contemporary given name, Moka has a brief, bright quality with its two distinct syllables. The name feels modern and unconventional in Western contexts, appealing to parents seeking something distinctive and easy to pronounce. Its coffee association might appeal to parents wanting a name with warm, comforting connotations, while its Japanese meaning offers a subtly poetic quality of ephemeral beauty.
