History & Origin
Lekesha is a modern coinage in a large and productive family: a prefix (La-, Le-, Ta-) joined to the -kesha / -keisha sound, giving Lakesha, Lakisha, Takesha and here Lekesha. Rather than assign it a false etymology, we read it as an invented, musical given name of its era.
Lekesha crested around 1979 and stayed uncommon, largely gone by the late 1990s. A girl named Lekesha then is now in her mid-forties. It reads as a coinage of its decade; its sisters Lakesha and Lakisha carried the sound, and Lekesha itself has not revived.
