Duka could also be a shortened word for Dukagjin

It is also known in Croatia :-

I think it is fair to say your name originated in Eastern Europe, unless you are dark skinned,

then it would probably be from Nigeria.

Duka is also the name of a Nigerian peoples :-

Answer 2

There are Dukas in the census that list Austria, Germany, Bohemia and the Isle of Man as birthplaces.

To find the origin of your particular line, you will have to do some research about your ancestors.

Answer 3

Maybe your name originates from Hungary.
