All over the world, Minka (Minka , 敏卡 , מינקה ) is quite a common principally female, but very infrequently male first name. The first name Minka is characteristic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it is quite a common female name, Bulgaria, where it is quite a rare principally female, but scarcely male name, and Slovenia, where it is quite a rare feminine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in India, Bulgaria, and Greece. Likewise, Minka is the last name as well as the forename.
Minka is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Minka , the operatic character in the opera Le roi malgré lui by Emmanuel Chabrier and Minka , the operatic character in the operetta Die Försterchristl.
