Origin
Possibly inspired by or derived from names with Semitic roots, similar in sound to biblical or historic names such as 'Yokah' or 'Yukah', though the specific spelling 'Jukah' is rare and not well-documented in traditional texts. It does not have a well-established presence in Aboriginal or Māori languages, and appears to be a modern or invented name in the Australian context.
