What the Data Says About Lesha

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,053 babies named Lesha between 1955 and 1999, spanning 45 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Lesha performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 476 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Lesha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 22 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Kentucky and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Lesha in 14 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lesha 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 1,053 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
