History & Origin
Shamecca is a modern American coinage that joins the fashionable Sha- prefix to a -mecca ending, a spelling variant of the -meka in Shameka and Tameka. It belongs to the inventive Black American naming of the nineteen-seventies, where a familiar prefix and a chosen ending combined into fresh names. It appears on United States birth records from the mid-nineteen-seventies.
It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high around nineteen-eighty, so a girl named Shamecca then would be in her forties today. It reads as a coinage of its era rather than a revival.
