History & Origin

Lashaye is a modern American coinage, joining the fashionable La- prefix to Shaye, a spelling of Shay. Names built this way were a creative, individualizing trend in Black communities in the later twentieth century. Rather than an inherited meaning, Lashaye rides its soft, flowing sound.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1989, and faded soon after. A girl named Lashaye then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Lashaye fits a large family of La- names, with Lashay and Lashea beside it, coined in Black American communities in the nineteen-eighties for their graceful sound.
