Lakisha is a feminine given name that gained popularity in the United States particularly during the 1970s. The name appears to combine the prefix 'La-' (meaning 'the' in Romance languages) with 'Kisha,' which may be a variant of Keisha or a shortened form of names containing 'K' sounds. The structure follows a naming pattern that became popular in the mid-to-late 20th century featuring prefixes like 'La-', 'De-', and 'Sha-'. Lakisha peaked on the Social Security Administration's name charts in the 1970s, reaching its height of popularity around 1973-1975. The name has a melodic quality with the emphasis typically on the second syllable (la-KEE-sha). While usage has declined since its peak, the name represents an important trend in American naming practices of the late 20th century, showing how prefixes could be combined with existing name elements to create distinctive new names.
