The name and its variants (Lakisha, Lakesha, Latisha) became a notable subject of sociolinguistic and economic research — most famously the 2004 Bertrand-Mullainathan study "Are Emily and Greg More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?" published in the American Economic Review, which used the name to document hiring discrimination and became one of the most-cited papers in labor economics. Lakeisha remains a culturally significant name studied in courses on naming, identity, and the sociology of the African American experience.
Lakeisha does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Lakeisha reduce to 3, The Communicator. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
