Meaning & origin

Ladaisha is a modern American name that first appeared in 1985, reflecting the creative naming conventions popular in African American communities during the late 20th century. Its highest point of use came in 1998, when it was given to roughly 5 out of every 1,000,000 baby girls born that year. Since then, usage has stabilized at a very low level, with fewer than 5 instances per million by 2025. The name has no strong geographic concentration; its top states are distributed across the country. Ladaisha remains an uncommon choice, born of the same La- prefixed tradition that produced names like Laquita and Latoya, and it carries a distinctive modern sound without deep historical roots.

Ladaisha is a modern American coinage, part of the popular naming trend that blends the prefix La- with existing names. The second element likely derives from Daisha, itself a variant of Aisha, or from the fashionable -aisha suffix. The name first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1985 and saw its highest usage in 1998. It has never entered the top 1000 nationally and has been given to fewer than 5 girls per year in recent decades.
