If we do a few things to your name we could come up with ārī+ka or

'ka' is the first consonant of the devanāgarī alphabet ; Note that saṃskṛt is the language, and devanāgarī is the alphabet .
This 'ka' is the sound form of prajāpati and also brahman ( in its 3rd derivative or use); yet it is also splendor, light, the sun. It also can be used as a name for water.
Now this ārī is defined as 'to trickle or flow upon'. If we combine it with 'ka' , ārīka becomes the flowing of water, or the flowing of splendor, of light. It looks like this devanāgarī ( some would say in saṃskṛt) आरीक.
Yet if we let this 'ka' have a long a or 'kā' , ārīkā becomes one that is seeking to trickle down to flow upon, as kā is to to seek , desire , yearn. But this kā is also defined as 'enjoy , be satisfied with'. Now ārīkā becomes one that is satisfied with, or enjoys the flow. It looks like this in devanāgarī आरीका .
