Meaning & origin
Lasonia is a modern American name that first appeared in birth records in 1962. It is a distinctly rare name, never having reached the Top 1000 national rankings. Its usage peaked in 1972, the peak year, after which it has remained in very low circulation. The trajectory of Lasonia has been stable, with occasional births but no significant revival. The name's top states are unknown due to its rarity. Lasonia is representative of a style of name creation popular in the mid-20th century, combining a fashionable prefix with a melodic ending.
Lasonia is a modern American coinage, first recorded in the 1960s. It appears to be a blend of popular elements such as the prefix 'La-' (common in African American invented names like Latoya or Lashawna) with the suffix '-sonia', perhaps influenced by names like Sonia or Tonia. The name peaked in usage in the 1970s.
