Shaquez, pronounced /shuh-khez/, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of African American origin. It is believed to have been created by blending the names Shaquille andquez, possibly as a way to honor both parents' naming choices or as a unique combination to celebrate personal significance. While its popularity has remained relatively low since its first appearance in the U.S. Social Security baby names data in 1997, it continues to be used sparingly year after year, offering those who bear this name a distinctive identity.
The name Shaquez has seen a steady growth in popularity over the years in the United States, with its first recorded birth occurring in 1993. Since then, there have been a total of five babies named Shaquez born each year until now. While it may not be one of the most common names, it is unique and has maintained a consistent presence among new births annually since its introduction into the US naming landscape nearly three decades ago.
