JEKKAH is a word taken from the Wolof language, which is a language spoken by over 10 million people in West Africa, mainly in Senegal and the The Gambia. Wolof is a spoken language, not a written one so people may argue over the spelling but the word has a clear meaning:  


jekkah [je-kka], n. (1) to be beautiful or elegant, (2) to be well-dressed
