History & Origin
Laquasia appears in United States records from about 1985 and peaks near 1993, one of the many La- coinages popular in African-American naming through the 1980s and 1990s. It reflects genuine creativity rather than a borrowed etymology and stayed rare throughout, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak.
A Laquasia born in the early 1990s is now an adult. The name is a product of its era's inventive naming culture; it did not enter the wider mainstream and remains a distinctive individual choice.
