History & Origin

Laquisha combines the productive La- opening with the -quisha sound of the Keisha family, a distinctly American invention. Like its cousins Lakisha and Laquita, it was built for its melody, and it captures the naming style of its moment vividly.

A girl named Laquisha at its 1991 crest is now in her thirties. The name reads as early-nineties; it has a full, rhythmic sound and harmonizes with Lakisha, Keisha and Laquita.

Did you know? The La- and -isha names crested together around the turn of the nineties; Laquisha reached its high point in 1991.
