Lakeeshia is of African-American origin, meaning 'she brings rejoicing'. It is an uncommon yet distinctive name that has gained popularity in recent decades. The name Lakeeshia consists of two elements: 'lake' and 'isha', the latter being a popular ending for female names in many cultures, including those with African roots. Lakeeshia was popularized by the character Lakeisha Johnson in the American sitcom "The Wayans Bros." (1995-1999). It is often spelled variant spellings such as Lakeishia or Lakeisha.
"The name Lakeeshia was popular in the mid-70s and again in the early 80s, with peak years being 1977 and 1978 with 5 births each."
