Origin:American
Meaning:Cassia tree; Vigil, watch
If baby’s radiant presence feels like a flurry of golden blossoms cascading around you, Lakesha mirrors that beautiful sentiment. This feminine name came to life in the African-American community around the 1970s, inspired by the French prefix “La-” and elegant Kesha. A name with multiple origins, Kesha may derive from the Hebrew Keziah, meaning “cassia tree.” This aromatic tree produces cinnamon, a beloved spice that enriches cuisine across the globe. Kesha is also a Swahili noun and verb that translates to “watch” or “vigil.” Lakesha is a sweet, woody, and innately observant appellation—ideal for the fragrant little sapling with a watchful gaze.
