The Most Popular African-American Baby Names for Girls

Akilah: is a variation of the Arabic name Aaliyah. It means intelligent and logical.
Amani: is a variation of the Arabic name Imani, which means “faith.” Former football player Amani Toomer is the most well-known bearer of this name. He spent 13 seasons with the New York Giants.
Dazzline: is a variant spelling of dazzling that implies “luminous.” Sounds appropriate for a little angel.
Imani: a perfect African-American origin name, Imani is Kiswahili for “faith.”
Janita: another form of Juanita, the female version of the Spanish name Juan. Janita’s playful and vibrant sound makes it perfect for creating a friendly environment.
Jaquana: African-American baby names often derive from the combination of well-known names. Jaquana takes Anna and adds it to Jacqueline, creating a new beautiful name. It’s a confident and adventurous aura that can make your baby girl more goal-oriented.
Keneisha: this is another example of African-American baby names being a combination of popular English names. In this case, you have Ken and Aisha 2 in 1. Keneisha has at least a dozen of different variations; some of the most popular include Kaneesha, Kenysha, and Kinesha.
Laquisha: some African-American baby names can have a double meaning. For example, some baby name experts suggest that Laquisha derives from Leticia, which means happy. On the other hand, there are indications that the name comes from Queisha, which has an African-Bobangi origin. The popular La- prefix makes this cute girl’s name a bit more European, giving an elegant French touch.
Latoya: thanks to Michael Jackson’s sister Latoya, this name has been popular since the ’80s among African-American parents. As it has now been over-used, you might want to look for fresh alternatives inspired by show-biz and top talented musicians like Aaliyah or Destiny from the super group Destiny’s Child.
Makayla: another form of Michaela, the female version of Michael. Makayla means who is like God and has a Hebrew origin. Makayla is among the most popular African-American baby names as it currently stands in the no.69 spot on the baby name charts. The trends favor Makayla, which also includes the trendy girl name Kayla, so it’s safe to predict that it’s going straight into the top 50 of all US baby names for girls.
Roneisha: the popular -isha ending has done it again! Now combined with Rhonda, you get one of the most modern African-American baby names invented in the 20th century from the Welsh “rhon” which means spear or pike.
Shanika: the meaning of this English origin name is God is gracious. Celebrity baby name for actress Shanika Warren-Markland known for her role as Kerrys in the British crime movie 4.3.2.1.
Shaquita: strongly linked with NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal as he is an undisputed role model for many young boys and girls. Shaquita is the female version of his name, which inspires every day thousands of kids to start playing sports with a dream of competing in the big leagues one day. Quita is, in fact, a name that derives from the Indoeuropean language. It also sounds like Chiquita, a widely used term from a Spanish father to his baby girl.

The Most Popular African-American Baby Names for Boys

Dantay: the true origin of Dantay is Latin and comes from either Dante or Donte. The meaning of Dantay is enduring as it comes from the Latin word durant. Dantay is a strong African-American baby name that will motivate your son for years.
Deshaun: African-American baby names can also be unisex. Deshaun is one of them, and it derives from the English name Shawn which means God is gracious. So if you add the prefix De-, you will have the son of Shawn. This makes it perfect for a father named Shawn or even Sean.
Deandre: modern invented African-American baby names are now rising in popularity. Deandre, the son of Andre, is currently trending in the top 500 baby names, with a strong indication that it will go even higher. The French origin of Deandre was also influenced by the Portuguese language. The root of this sophisticated boy’s name is Andrew which means manly and strong in Greek.
Jalen: thanks to Jalen Rose, a retired NBA basketball player who is now an ESPN sports analyst, this name has been associated with athlete names. If you have had enough of hearing Jason everywhere, now it’s your chance to ditch the old-fashioned name and use a fresh and trendy alternative that is now included in the top 500 popular baby names in the USA.
Jamarcus: another star of the sports fields, this time in a different game. Jamarcus Russell popularized this vivid name when he appeared in American football as a quarterback with a promising career. The name has an obvious connection with the St. Marcus, making it an ideal choice for African-American parents looking for a biblical name that doesn’t sound too boring.
Mychal: an innovative way to spell Michael, which means who is like God? Reminds you of many important figures for the African-American community like Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan (like these adorable Nike Airs in the photo below?)
Rashawn: it has the same origin as the name Deshaun that we saw earlier in this post. Derives from Shawn and has added the prefix Ra-. The illuminative meaning of Rashawn is shining light, making it a truly inspirational choice.
Treyvon: variation of Trevon, which in turn comes from the more popular name Trevor. This pretty boy’s name has Welsh origin and denotes the person who comes from a large village.
Quentin: the prefix La- strikes again, this time with the quirky name Quentin. This offbeat choice has a Latin origin and means fifth, which makes it perfect for baby boys born in May. I wouldn’t suggest reserving it for your 5th baby, though, as it would be too much!
