Jaquasha is an unique and distinctive given name, of African American origin. It is derived from the Swahili word 'Jacquash', meaning 'to be victorious'. The name Jaquasha typically consists of four syllables and is pronounced as /jah-kwah-shuh/. Despite its roots in African culture, this name gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, often used by parents looking for uncommon yet meaningful names for their daughters.
"The name Jaquasha saw a significant increase in usage from 1992 to 1993, with birth counts nearly tripling. The subsequent years showed fluctuations, but maintained an average of around ten births annually until the late nineties."
