Meaning & origin
Lacole is a modern American coinage that first appeared in Social Security records in 1972. It peaked in 1981 and has since declined steeply, with very few births in recent years. The name reflects the creative naming patterns of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly the use of the La- prefix which also produced names like Latoya and LaKeisha. Like many names from this era, Lacole remains rare and distinctive.
Lacole is a modern American coinage formed by blending the fashionable prefix La- (as in Latoya, LaShawn) with the name Nicole. It emerged in the early 1970s during a trend of distinctive La- names, particularly among African American families. The name Nicole itself derives from the Greek Nikolaos, meaning 'victory of the people'.
