Meaning:Cassia, cinnamon
Lekisha, a girl's name, has American and Hebrew origins. As a combination of the prefix -Le and Kisha, Lekisha takes inspiration from Lakeisha, another invented moniker that earns its meaning from the Hebrew Keziah. The title given to one of Job's daughters in the Hebrew Bible, Keziah translates to "cassia" or "cinnamon," referring to the tree that is the source of Chinese cinnamon, an aromatic spice. In Hinduism, the cassia tree is a symbol of beauty and purity, so naming baby Lekisha could be a lovely way to celebrate the joy, peace, and zest they'll bring to the world.
