African-American Names: History and Tradition

Consider LaKeisha.

LaKeisha is a quintessential African-American name, one well-used by African-American parents for their children, but by virtually no one else, not white Americans, not Africans, not Europeans. It doesn't exist in any conventional naming dictionary, and many people, including many name experts, believe it is made up. "Created," decrees one popular name book. Another incorrectly declares it a combination of "the popular La prefix" with Aisha, the name of Muhammad's favorite wife and one that's often used, in many variations, by African-American parents.

But most name books simply disregard LaKeisha, along with the entire subject of African-American names, as well as the thousands of names favored by African-Americans. Why? Ignorance plays a major role in the issue, with everyone from name scholars to African-American parents — and of course, most especially the general public — largely unaware of the history and traditions of African-America
