Lashana is an uncommon, yet captivating given name of African origin. Derived from the Yoruba tribe's word "Olasanmi", which means "God has done me good", Lashana is often associated with a rich cultural heritage and positive connotations.
This unique moniker was popularized in recent years by British actress Lashana Lynch, known for her roles in films such as "No Time to Die" and "Captain Marvel". However, its usage predates her fame, being a rare but meaningful choice among families who appreciate uncommon names with profound meanings.
The name Lashana experienced significant popularity from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, with peaks in the years 1975 (45 births), 1977 (54 births), and 1978 (72 births). After 1983, its usage gradually declined, reaching a low of only 7 births in 2003. In total, there were 1061 births named Lashana over this period.
