Réka is an old Hungarian female given name from the 10th century. It is of Hun descent, originally being Rika, derived from the Turkish Arikan. Over time it changed into forms like Kreka or Rekam and eventually into Réka. Affectionate forms are usually Réki and Rékus.
The first known bearer of this name was the legendary second wife of the Hun king Attila, daughter of the Hun prince Keve.
