Lequetta is an uncommon female given name of African American origin. It is derived from the Latin name Aquila, which means "eagle." The name Aquila was popular among early Christians and was later used in England during the Middle Ages. Over time, the name evolved into various forms such as Aquilla, Aquila, Aquilaia, and eventually Lequetta. Today, Lequetta is rarely encountered, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Lequetta appears to have had two years of popularity with five births each in 1979 and 1981, resulting in a total of ten children being named Lequetta during that time period.
