Laquina is of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba tribe. It means 'The first daughter.' In West Africa, this name has been traditionally given to the eldest girl born into a family.
"Laquina had a peak year with nine births in 1978, followed by another spike of eight births in 1990. However, there were fewer than six births each year from 1976 to 1982 and again from 1985 to 1986."
