History & Origin

Lashara is an original coinage rather than a handed-down name, formed from the fashionable La- prefix and a gentle -shara ending reminiscent of Sharon. It is a clear product of a naming style that prized invention and a personal, musical sound.

It stayed at the edge of the record, a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1988, and faded by the two-thousands. A Lashara from then is in her thirties now, the name a neat sample of the era's La- inventiveness.

Did you know? Lashara's La- opening was one of the most productive building blocks in African American girl-naming, generating hundreds of individual names.
