Meaning & origin
Takeshia is a modern American invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1973. It reached its highest usage in 1979, its peak year, but has never entered the top 1000 nationally. The name has maintained a stable but very low frequency since the 1970s. Its trajectory remains flat, with no recent revival. The name is typical of a style of feminine coinage popular in African American communities during that era, combining a ta- prefix with the popular -eshia ending seen in names like Tanesha and Lakiesha. No state recorded it frequently enough to appear in the top state lists, reflecting its rarity. Takeshia remains a distinctive and uncommon choice.
