How do you spell erika in German?

Answer 1

"Erika" is spelt like you have already done - personal names are written with a capital letter like John or Jack in English. It is derived from the Greek 'e vrika', which means ' I have found out' . When Pythagoras, the famous philosopher found out about a law of nature ( here the fact you can measure the weight of an object when you put the object in a vessel of water like a bath tub and check the amont of water which will overflow which will be the same amount of weight of the object!) he ran out of the chamber forgetting about his clothes and cried " Evrika" at the top of his voice. Here it meant "I have found out about it!" Sometimes this is spelt "EUREKA!" In due course he paid for twenty oxen to be brought to the priests and offered to the Gods iin order to thank them;that is why all the oxen of the world are "afraid" when something revolutionary has been found out. Here the "oxen" mean conservative people who are not interested in the progress of science
