How to Pronounce Lekeisha
Pronounced luh-KEE-shuh /ləˈkiː.ʃə/Medium
Meaning: Lekeisha joins the Le- prefix to Keisha, a name usually connected to Keziah — in the Bible a daughter of Job, from the Hebrew for cassia, a fragrant spice. Popular in later-century African-American naming, the Le- prefix distinguished the base; Lekeisha carries that warm, spice-scented sense in a flowing form.Low

History & Origin
Lekeisha is a Le- prefixed elaboration of Keisha, generally linked to the biblical Keziah, from the Hebrew for cassia, a spice. It belongs to the productive later-century fashion for prefixed names in African-American communities.
Lekeisha crested around 1980 at roughly seventy girls a year and had largely faded by the late nineteen-nineties. A Lekeisha from the peak is in her mid-forties now. It reads as a name of its era rather than a reviving one.
