Shenekia saw a notable increase in popularity between 1982 and 1983, with the number of births nearly doubling from 7 to 9. However, it's clear that this name never became extremely common, as its annual birth counts varied significantly over these years, ranging from a low of 5 (in 1984, 1986, and 1988) to a high of 9 (in 1983 and 1989). In total, 60 babies were named Shenekia during this nine-year period.
