The spelling of the name "Janikka" is derived from its Finnish origin. The phonetic transcription of the name pronounced as /jɑnɪkka/, starting with the "y" sound in "yes." The first "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father," and the second "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "cat." The "i" is pronounced as a short "i" sound, while the double "k" is emphasized with a sharp "k" sound. The final "a" is pronounced like the first "a." Thus, the word Janikka is spelled with consideration towards the language's native pronunciation.
