Lakaisha is of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba ethnic group. It's composed of two elements: "Ola" meaning "wealth," and "Kisha," which signifies "to meet." Thus, Lakaisha translates to "meeting with wealth." This name was popularized in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s.
The name Lakaisha was popular between the late 1970s and early 1980s, with a notable peak of 13 births in 1980. However, its popularity has since declined, with fewer than 6 births recorded each year from 1984 onwards. Overall, there were a total of 113 children named Lakaisha born over the course of these years.
