History & Origin
Shakeitha comes from the inventive late-century tradition of building girls' names from a familiar prefix and a musical core. Its Sha- opening and -keitha center place it beside Lakeisha and Shakita, part of a whole flowering of individualized names in those decades.
The name had a quiet run in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, cresting late in the seventies. Given to only about twenty girls a year, a Shakeitha from that peak is now in her forties.
