What is the meaning of name 'sanika?

in Sanskrit 'Sanika' means a 'Flute'

How see my explanation:
1. Sa [re ga ma pa dha] ni
picking up Sa & ni as representing, implying, designating all the svaras (tones)
all meaning Sa, ni and those in [] above.
That makes for Sani in Sanika
2. ka is karoti iti (Sanskrit) that which does.
Something that produces Sani in sense as explained in 1. is Sanika.
3. To spell out in Sanskrit: Saa re ga ma pa dha ni karoti iti.
