Decade-level aggregation shows that Lakia performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 997 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Lakia shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Maryland, which accounts for 252 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Lakia in 22 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lakia in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 2,639 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
