Laquiesha is a unique and distinctive given name of African-American origin. It is believed to have been created during the late 20th century as an alternative spelling of LaQuisha, which itself is a variant of Lacisha, a combination of two elements: "Laci" from Laura and "Kisha" from Kimberly. However, Laquiesha stands alone in its unique spelling and pronunciation, contributing to its distinctive identity.
Laquiesha experienced a peak in popularity with 15 births in 1990, but it has generally been more common since the mid-80s with an average of around 10 births per year. The name saw a slight dip in usage after 1992, with just 7 births each in 1994 and 1995. Overall, there were 94 babies named Laquiesha between 1985 and 1995.
