Lakisha is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
Recently, the name Lakisha has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Lakisha. That means that a girl named Lakisha is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lakisha.
Is the name Lakisha a dinosaur? We would say: It's classic! Parents chose this name most often in 1977, when it ranked #209 with 1,148 newborn girls receiving this special first name. In times of emerging digitalization, it thus experienced its last peak. Since Lakisha is both classic and fancy at the same time, people didn't always come up with the idea of giving their daughter this unusual name. So, if your name is Lakisha, feel classic and not old-fashioned, because after all, you stand out with your name these days!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lakisha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

If your name is Lakisha and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
