Lashanda
Meaning of Lashanda
Lashanda is a contemporary feminine given name of American origin, resulting from the morphological fusion of the prefix La- with the element Shanda, a variant of Shana and Shannon that bears etymological connections to the Hebrew Shoshana (“rose”) and the Gaelic sean (“old”). Its phonetic form in American English, /ləˈʃæn.də/, features penultimate stress on the second syllable. Statistical data from North Carolina birth records demonstrate that, between 1971 and 1993, Lashanda was bestowed upon six to twenty-three newborn girls annually, with its highest incidence recorded in 1982 and 1983 and statewide popularity consistently ranking between 119th and 157th. The name is frequently associated with personal assertiveness, cultural innovation, and the inventive naming conventions of late twentieth-century America.
