"Blend of La and Shonda"
The name Lashawnda is commonly a female name from the "American" origin.
Lashawnda is a modern American coinage, first recorded in United States birth records in 1967. Its form matches the La- prefix pattern found in other twentieth-century American names such as LaShawn and Latoya, joined to the name Shonda or Shawnda. It has no recorded meaning in any language and no history before its twentieth-century American use.
The pronunciation of Lashawnda is luh-SHAWN-duh.
