History & Origin
Rashaunda is a built coinage in the Ra- prefix family, extending Shaun with an added ending. It stayed rare, touching a small high around 1990.
Given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak, it faded by the late nineteen-nineties. A girl named Rashaunda at that high would be in her mid-thirties today. The name reads as an ornate, personal choice of its era.
