Meaning & origin
Lameisha is a modern American name that first appeared in the U.S. Social Security records in 1976, reflecting the trend of creating unique names with the 'La-' prefix. It never reached the top 1,000 in national rankings, but its peak year, 1992, saw the most recorded births. The name's trajectory has since stabilized at very low usage. Like many names from that era, Lameisha fits the pattern of stylish coinages that blend familiar sounds with distinctive spelling.
Lameisha appears to be a modern American coinage, likely formed by combining the popular prefix 'La-' with the name 'Meisha' or 'Misha.' It emerged in the 1970s and saw modest use in the 1990s, consistent with the trend of creating distinctive names with the 'La-' prefix.
