Lajuanda is of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin. It is derived from two elements: "Olu," meaning "king" or "wise," and "Janda," which signifies "to conquer." Thus, Lajuanda can be interpreted as "the king who conquers." The name gained popularity during the 1970s in North America due to its unique sound and African heritage. It is primarily given to girls but can also be used for boys.
