Combination name, likely meaning joyful or alive
Lekisha is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the prefix 'Le-' with the name Kisha. Kisha itself is often considered a diminutive of Keziah, a biblical name meaning 'cassia tree,' or linked to the Russian name Lakeisha, which is associated with the Swahili word for 'favorite' or 'joyful.'
