Across the world, Menaka (Menaka 
, Meña 
, Meñaka ) is a widespread principally girly, but scarcely male first name. The forename Menaka is habitual in India, where it is quite a common predominantly female, but very seldom male name, Sri Lanka, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, and Kuwait, where it is quite a rare gender-neutral name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Southern Asia, particularly India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Much less frequently, Menaka is the last name as well as the forename.
