Lekeisha Origin and Meaning

The name Lekeisha is a girl's name.

Lekeisha appears to be a variant spelling of Lakeisha, which emerged in the United States during the latter half of the 20th century. The name likely represents a creative adaptation combining the popular prefix 'La-' (which appears in many contemporary American names) with 'Keisha,' possibly derived from the name Keshia or Keisha. These names gained particular popularity in the 1970s and 1980s. The spelling variation with 'Le-' instead of 'La-' represents the phonetic flexibility and creativity in modern American naming practices. Usage data shows the name reached its peak popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, though it has declined in frequency in recent decades. The name exemplifies the trend of distinctive prefix-modified names that became established in American naming patterns during this period.
