All over the world, ヤカ (Jaka 
, ヤカ 
) is a common principally male, but very seldom girly first name. The given name ヤカ is characteristic of Slovenia, where it is quite a common masculine name, Indonesia, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but scarcely female name, and Brunei, where it is quite a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in Indonesia, India, and Slovenia. Much less frequently, ヤカ is the last name as well as the forename.
