History & Origin
Lamisha is a coined American girls' name that appears in United States records from the early 1970s. It joins the La- prefix to a -misha ending in the family of Lakisha and Tamisha, part of the inventive naming among Black American families. Its appeal is its gentle, flowing sound rather than a fixed meaning.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around the early 1970s and rare throughout. A woman named Lamisha from then is now in her fifties.
