Lautokah is in Origin.

Blending Pacific toponyms with modern naming style, Lautokah is a contemporary given name derived from Lautoka, the Fijian port city on Viti Levu. The city’s name is usually traced to a Fijian battle cry, lau toka, glossed as "spear strike" or "to hit with a spear," so the personal name evokes boldness, precision, and decisive victory. The terminal -h is a stylistic flourish adopted in recent years, aligning it with other modern spellings and nodding to wider Polynesian orthographies.

As a personal name, Lautokah appears in sporadic 21st-century use, especially among Pacific Islander diasporas and families drawn to place-inspired names; it is commonly treated as unisex. Variants and related forms include the simpler Lautoka, occasional Laotoka, and creative diminutives such as Lau and Toka. Some parents also hear an echo of Maori kaha "strength," reinforcing a resilience theme, though that association is folk-etymological rather than historical.
