History & Origin
Laqueisha comes out of the rich mid-to-late-century African-American practice of coining names from favored sounds and prefixes. The La- opening and the Keisha core together make a longer relative of Lakeisha and Lakisha. Keisha itself is often connected to the Hebrew Keziah, the name of one of Job's daughters and a word for the cassia spice, though for most families it functions purely as a modern, melodic coinage.
The name was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak in the early nineteen-nineties. A Laqueisha born then is in her thirties now, her name a distinctive product of that inventive era.
