About Lashaun
Lashaun is a masculine name with African-American origins that gained moderate popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s.

The name has a smooth, rhythmic quality and projects confidence and individuality. While its peak popularity has passed, Lashaun continues to be chosen by parents seeking a distinctive name with cultural significance and a modern sound.
Lashaun is also given to girls.
Pronounced lah-SHAWN.
