History & Origin
Lakishia pairs the La- prefix with a -kishia ending drawn from Keisha and Kishia. Names like this were made for their music and individuality, so the sound, rather than an old root, is the meaning parents chose.
It was a modest choice that peaked in the late nineteen-seventies before fading. It reads as a distinctly later-twentieth-century name and remains uncommon.
