Vōka

I once knew a man named Vōka, everyone called him Vok. It was strong and cheeky and suited him perfectly. The only reference I could find to this name is it being a Gujarati (Northern Indian dialect) word for walk.

The other inspiration for this name is Star Trek Discovery, where the main protagonist is a Klingon named Voq. I actually quite like this short and alternate spelling. On this note Voq could also be short for ancient Greek words uuvoq or ivoq meaning 'hymns', or Uzbeki ovoq meaning 'flour'.
