Lakesha is a modern feminine name that emerged in the United States in the mid-20th century. It appears to be a creative variation combining the popular prefix 'La-' (meaning 'the' in Romance languages) with 'Kesha,' which may be a variant of Keesha or derive from names like Lakisha or Takesha. The name gained notable popularity during the 1970s and early 1980s, peaking around 1977-1978. Usage data shows it has appeared across diverse communities, with documented usage particularly strong in the southern United States. While some consider it a creative modern coinage, others suggest possible connections to other established names like Latisha or Kisha. The name has declined in popularity since the 1990s but remains recognized in contemporary American naming traditions.
