Lakotah is in Origin.

Lakotah is a modern given name derived from Lakota, the self-designation Lakȟóta of one of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux) nations and their language. In Lakota, the term means "ally, friend" or "allies," and the diacritic ȟ marks a voiceless velar fricative often rendered as "kh" in English. The final -h in Lakotah is a contemporary ornamental spelling; the most linguistically accurate English form is Lakota. The name is considered unisex.

As a personal name in the United States, Lakotah came into use in the late 20th century alongside nature- and Plains-inspired choices, and remains uncommon but recognizable. Variant spellings and related forms include Lakota, Lakȟóta (scholarly), Lakoda, and Kota as a nickname; thematically related ethnonymic names include Dakota and Nakota. Usage sometimes signals admiration for Lakota culture or the Great Plains, though the word primarily denotes the people and language. The core meaning across spellings centers on friendship and alliance.
