History & Origin
Ladaja is a modern African-American coinage built from the La- prefix and a -daja element found in Daja and Nadaja. The La-/La'- prefix produced a large family of girls' names in the late twentieth century. Ladaja appears in United States records from the early nineteen-nineties, with a high late that decade. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Ladaja from that peak would be in her twenties now. The name reads as an inventive nineteen-nineties choice tied to its era's La- sounds, and it has not carried on into wider use.
