History & Origin
Lakisa is a spelling of Lakisha, an African American coinage joining the decorative La- prefix to Kisha or Keisha. Names of this pattern were built for their sound in the later twentieth century, and Lakisa is a trimmed, single-s spelling of the more common form.
Lakisa was never common, borne by only a few dozen girls a year with a faint peak around 1977 and light use into the late 1980s. Lakisha and Lakeisha carried most of the name's use.
