Wakeisha is an uncommon yet distinctive given name, derived from African origins. It's composed of two elements: 'Wak', meaning 'first-born' in Swahili, and 'isha', which means 'woman' in Arabic. This combination results in a name that signifies strength and femininity.
Wakeisha was quite popular among parents in the late 80s, with a peak of five babies named Wakeisha each year in 1980 and again in 1987. The name's popularity resurged once more in 1989, also seeing five births that year. In total, fifteen little girls were named Wakeisha during this three-year span.
