History & Origin
Lakasha is a coined American girls' name that appears in United States records in the early 1970s. It joins the La- prefix to a -kasha ending in the family of Lakisha and Kasha, part of the inventive naming among Black American families of the era. Its charm is the rolling sound rather than an inherited story.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its 1980 high and rare throughout. A woman named Lakasha from then is now in her forties.
