History & Origin

Takeisha is a product of late-century American name-building, joining the productive Ta- prefix to Keisha. Keisha traces loosely to Aisha, the Arabic name for 'living', by way of the Keziah and Lakeisha vogue. Recorded from around 1970, it crested about 1979 at just over sixty girls a year.

Takeisha shared its pool with many kindred spellings, so no single one grew common, and the whole family thinned after the nineteen-nineties. A girl named Takeisha at its peak is now in her forties; the name reads as warmly of that generation.

Did you know? Takeisha is one of a big family of Ta-/La-/Sha- prefixed names — Lakeisha, Takisha, Nakeisha — that shared the fashionable Keisha ending.
