In 30 seconds: Shacoya is a modern African American name from the Sha- prefix plus a -coya ending. It appeared for United States girls from the late nineteen-seventies (said shuh-KOY-uh).
Shacoya is a coined name that pairs that busy prefix with a soft, unusual tail. Its quiet high came around 1989.
It was given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most and faded by the late nineteen-nineties, so it stayed rare throughout. It reads as an inventive personal coinage of its moment.
Did you know? The Sha- prefix was one of the most fertile building blocks in late-twentieth-century African American naming, seeding Shanice, Shakira, Shaniqua, and countless coinages like this one.
