History & Origin

Lasheika surfaced in the late nineteen-seventies and reached its modest high around 1982.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak. A girl named Lasheika then would be in her forties today. The name has a soft, four-beat flow and fits among the La- coinages of its era.

Did you know? The La- opening and -eika ending were both signature blocks of late-century African American naming; joined together they made a smooth, distinctive name.
