History & Origin
Shiquita borrows the sound of Spanish chiquita, an endearment meaning 'little girl', and gives it a fresh Sh- spelling in the pattern of coined names like Shakita. The tender Spanish word is the source of its feel.
It stayed rare, cresting in the mid-nineteen-eighties at just a few dozen a year and disappearing from records by the late nineties; it reads as a warm coinage of its decade rather than a traditional name.
