History & Origin
Lashai belongs to the tradition of fixing the La- prefix to a chosen core, here the bright Shai. It stayed rare throughout and reached a modest high in the mid nineteen-nineties.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, marking it as a distinctive, personal choice. A girl named Lashai at that high would be in her early thirties today. Its quick, rising luh-SHY sound gives it real snap.
