Meaning & origin
Lasheena is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1974. It never broke into the top 1000, but its peak usage came in 1984, when the prefix "La-" was at its most fashionable. The name has remained stable in usage since then, with a very small number of births each year. Like many similar creations from that era, it reflects a trend of unique feminine names formed from phonetic fragments. Though it did not secure a spot in the national rankings, it carries a distinctive sound that appealed to some parents in the 1980s.
Lasheena is a modern American coinage, first recorded in the 1970s. It appears to be a creative formation, possibly influenced by the popular prefix "La-" (as in Latoya, Lakeisha) combined with the name Sheena or the suffix "-sheena". It gained modest use in the 1980s.
