Meaning:Cassia, cinnamon
Lakisha is an American girl's name that begins with the very melodic -La prefix. Combining -La with Kisha creates a moniker that mimics and meshes well with Lakeisha. As variants of the Hebrew Keziah, Kisha and Keisha translate to "cassia" or "cinnamon," bringing to mind the evergreen tree whose bark is the source of Chinese cinnamon. Uniquely flavorful and pungent, Chinese cinnamon is used to make chocolate and other culinary delicacies. In the cassia tree, you and your little one will find a symbol of purity, beauty, and new beginnings, three concepts they'll encounter and connect with throughout their journey.
