Laquita
Laquita in 2025
Laquita was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Laquita has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Laquita
Laquita reached its highest point in 1983, when 248 babies were given the name, ranking 1,190th that year.
Across the 96 years of records since 1930, 6,400 babies have been named Laquita. Half of them were born before 1979, which places the name's centre of gravity with Generation X.
