Lakisha
Meaning of Lakisha
Lakisha, pronounced luh-KEE-shuh (/ləˈkiːʃə/), brings a sunny blend of modern flair and heartfelt roots. Born in the creative naming wave of the 1970s, it pairs the catchy “La-” prefix with Keisha—itself a twist on the Hebrew Keziah, meaning “cassia tree”—to deliver a name that’s both fresh and grounded. In California, Lakisha leapt from the 300s in the late ’60s into the low 200s by the mid-’70s and even cracked the top-300 list through the early ’80s, like a bright spark in nurseries across the state. With its lilting rhythm, this name evokes confidence, warmth and a touch of soulful melody (just ask singer Lakisha Jones, one of its most famous bearers). For parents looking for a name that feels familiar yet unfurls its own story, Lakisha offers a perfect mix of heritage, charm and undeniable personality.
