Lekisha is a unique and distinctive name of African American origin, derived from the Swahili word 'Lekisha,' which means 'one who waits.' It is often spelled variously as Lekesha, Lekeisha, or Lecisha, but the core meaning remains constant.
"The name Lekisha experienced significant popularity in the late 70s and early 80s, with a peak of 92 births in 1980. However, its usage steadily declined thereafter, dropping to as low as 7 births in 1992."
