History & Origin
Lasheena is a coined American name that joins the fashionable La- prefix to Sheena, the anglicized spelling of the Scottish Gaelic Sìne, a form of Jane, from Hebrew Yohanan, 'God is gracious.' It belongs to the inventive African American naming of the later twentieth century, and on the Sheena reading it carries the 'God is gracious' sense.
The name crested around 1984 and stayed uncommon, borne by a few hundred girls before fading by the mid-1990s. A Lasheena named at the peak is now around forty. It never spread widely and reads as a distinctly late-century coinage of its era.
