Lakeishia is in Origin.

Lakeishia is a modern African-American given name, pronounced lah-KEE-sha, elaborating Lakeisha/LaKeisha with an extra -ia ending. It builds on the base Keisha/Keshia, a name often connected to Hebrew Keziah (meaning “cassia,” the fragrant spice) and influenced by the popularity of Arabic Aisha (“alive, living”). Because of these overlapping roots, Lakeishia is commonly interpreted as “cassia” or “life,” though its structure reflects creative, late-20th-century name formation rather than a single traditional source.

Use spread in the United States during the 1970s–1990s alongside other La- prefixed names and has since waned; it remains uncommon outside North America. Variant spellings include Lakeisha, LaKeisha, Lakeshia, Lakiesha, and Lakeesha; related forms are Keisha, Keshia, and Aisha. Short forms and nicknames include Keisha, Kisha, Kiki, and Kei.
