Ladessa is a unique and elegant given name of American origin. It is derived from the English surname "Laudes," which means "praise" or "glory." This beautiful name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, but it remains relatively uncommon today, making it a standout choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet timeless name for their daughter. The name Ladessa is composed of two elements: "lade," meaning "to praise" or "to glorify," and "essa," which is a short form of the Hebrew name Esther, meaning "star." Together, these components create a name that combines strength and grace, much like its historical roots.
Ladessa saw its peak popularity during 1977 and 1978 with seven births each year. There was a notable decrease in the number of newborns named Ladessa in 1989, with only five recorded births that year. In total, 19 babies were given the name Ladessa over these three years.
