Laquasha
Meaning of Laquasha
Laquasha is a distinctly American female name that arose in African-American communities in the late 1970s, formed by pairing the familiar La- prefix with the inventive element “Quasha” to create a balanced, three-syllable sound. Pronounced luh-KWAA-shuh (/ləˈkwɑːʃə/), it achieved its peak popularity in 1988 when it ranked 785th among newborn girls in the United States, then gradually declined and slipped out of the top 900 by 2003. Although its precise linguistic roots remain undocumented, Laquasha is often associated with individuality and creative self-expression, reflecting a broader cultural movement toward unique name constructions during that era. Today, it endures as a modest yet memorable choice for parents seeking a name that combines originality with melodic harmony.
