As a surname, Mesika is of Sephardic Jewish origin, likely derived from a place name. Theories suggest it may be associated with the town of Mexica in Portugal. Alternatively, it may be derived from the Arabic word for "mosque," "masjid," reflecting a family history related to either building or residing near a mosque during the period of Jewish settlement in Islamic lands. The surname is found predominantly among Jews of North African and Middle Eastern descent.
