I was born in Yakima, Washington and have lived in Washington most of my life and have never heard the variation Yamika and I lived right through the sixties as a young person. Is your mother Native American. Also I never heard of "lake Yakima" but there is the Yakima River and its an impressive river, but I'm not sure what Yakima means, but I'll find out as quickly as I can and let you know. Maybe your Mom just heard it wrong or spelled is wrong like Oprah (she was supposed to be Orpah you know).
