Laporshe is of African origin, derived from the Yoruba tribe's name for Thursday, which is "Orosha". It is pronounced /la-POR-she/. In some cultures, naming a child after a day of the week may signify that the baby was born on that particular day or that the parents hope their child will bring good fortune associated with that day. Laporshe is not a common name and thus may contribute to its bearer standing out and being remembered easily. The name does not have any specific meaning in other languages, making it unique and uncommon worldwide.
The given name Laporshe experienced varied popularity between 1989 and 1992, with a noticeable spike in usage in 1992.
