Names that Peaked in 1986

Shaquita emerged in American naming patterns during the 1960s and gained increasing popularity through the 1970s and early 1980s. The name appears to be a variant of Shaquita, possibly derived from combining the prefix 'Sha-' (common in names like Shanna or Shandra) with the ending '-quita' (which may relate to variants of names like Marquita). The 'Sha-' prefix became incorporated into numerous names during this period. Another possibility is that it represents a feminine form of names like Shaquille, which has Arabic origins meaning 'handsome' or 'comely.' The name peaked in popularity during the mid-1970s and has gradually declined since. Shaquita exemplifies the trend of melodic, multi-syllabic feminine names with creative phonetic structures that became more common in American naming practices during this period.
