History & Origin

Laporsche is a modern African American coinage that adds the La- prefix to Porsche, the German luxury-car marque. A small wave of aspirational brand-echo names appeared in the 1980s, Mercedes and Porsha among them, and Laporsche belongs to that moment; its draw is the sleek, upscale sound rather than any dictionary meaning, which we note plainly. It appears in United States records only briefly, from the mid-1980s.

It was very rare, given to only a couple dozen girls across a short span, so it barely registers. A girl named Laporsche then would be in her thirties today. It reads as an of-its-era brand-name coinage rather than a revival, and the plainer Porsha is the form more parents chose.

Did you know? Laporsche is one of a handful of 1980s names borrowed from luxury brands, a cousin in spirit to Porsha and Mercedes.
