Combination of the prefix La and the name Keisha
A modern American creation, Lakiesha follows a 20th-century naming pattern of adding the French-inspired prefix 'La' to established names like Keisha. Keisha itself is thought to have roots in the Hebrew name Keziah, meaning cassia or cinnamon, or potentially from East African origins.
