Lashaye is of African American origin, derived from the Arabic 'Lashay', meaning 'night beauty'. It gained popularity in the late 20th century and is often associated with the African American community.
The name Lashaye appears to have been quite popular among parents during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a peak of 16 births in 1989. However, its popularity declined thereafter, with only a handful of births each year after that.
