Delisha Origin and Meaning
The name Delisha is a girl's name.
Delisha is a feminine name that emerged in American naming culture, likely as a creative combination of the prefix 'Del-' (found in names like Delilah or Della) with the popular '-isha' suffix that gained traction in the 1970s and 1980s. The name has a rhythmic, three-syllable flow with a distinctly contemporary feel. Delisha saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1990s but remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality without being completely unfamiliar. The name gained some recognition through basketball player Delisha Milton-Jones. Its constructed nature allows it to carry whatever meaning families wish to assign it, while its musical quality and distinctive character make it memorable.
