Lameshia
Meaning of Lameshia
The name Lameshia represents a late twentieth-century American neologism formed by the morphological augmentation of the prefix La- to the root Misha—a Slavic diminutive of Michael—thus producing a novel feminine appellation that aligns with broader Anglo-American onomastic patterns of etymological hybridity. Pronounced luh-MEE-shuh (/ləˈmiːʃə/), its tripartite syllabic structure, with antepenultimate stress, ensures both phonetic clarity and melodic cadence. Social Security Administration data reveal annual occurrences ranging from five to thirteen births between 1973 and 1997, yielding rank positions between 740 and 861 and underscoring the name’s enduring rarity. As a technical exemplar of modern American naming conventions, Lameshia is frequently associated with individual distinctiveness, creative expression and a subtle invocation of ancestral heritage within African American cultural contexts.
