Names that Peaked in 1915

Lahoma is a feminine name of Native American origin, specifically attributed to the Choctaw language where it means 'red cedar' or 'red wood.' The name gained modest recognition in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly in Oklahoma and surrounding states with connections to Native American heritage. Its popularity may have been influenced by the town of Lahoma, Oklahoma, established during the Land Run of 1893. Though never widely used, Lahoma peaked in usage during the 1920s and 1930s. The name carries natural symbolism, as red cedar was valued by many indigenous tribes for both practical and ceremonial purposes. Lahoma offers a distinctive choice that honors Native American linguistic traditions while maintaining an accessible pronunciation.
