Makeshia is a unique and captivating female given name of American origin. It is composed of two elements: 'Make' and 'Shia'. The former likely derives from the English word 'make', while the latter is believed to be inspired by the Egyptian feminine name Shasha. Thus, Makeshia can be interpreted as meaning 'she who makes a mark' or 'feminine creator'. This distinctive name gained popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s, adding a creative twist to traditional naming patterns.
Makeshia experienced a significant peak in popularity between 1977 and 1980, with an average of 11 births per year during this period. However, its usage began to decline thereafter, dropping to just five births in 1981. There was another slight resurgence in the late 1980s, but it never regained the heights of the late 1970s. Overall, Makeshia saw a total of 98 births over these years.
