Lashone is best read as a coinage of the nineteen-sixties and seventies, joining the creative La- prefix to Shon, a spelling of Sean β the Irish John, 'God is gracious'.
It stayed rare, cresting around 1971 within the broad wave of La- names, then fading. It belongs to a distinctive African-American naming tradition of its era rather than to any older lineage.
