Where did the name Erica come from?

No. The Only Erica that isn't cool is Erica Lewellen. The name erica was derived from the latin term for "the outspoken one." It was a new beginning for the Akaptuek Tribe in the early B.C. years. They used this to describe beautiful, spontaneous, and good quality women. The name was later changed into, which now today is, "erica." When Akaptuek tribe members died off in the middle west, they kept the tradition of "erica" going into the century now, that we call the 21st century.
