Glennisha
Glennisha Origin and Meaning
Glennisha is a feminine name that emerged in American naming patterns in the latter part of the 20th century, primarily in the 1970s and 1980s. The name appears to be a creative combination of the name 'Glenn' (a Scottish surname and masculine given name meaning 'valley') with the feminine suffix '-isha.' This construction follows a distinctive pattern that became popular during this era, taking established names (often masculine or surname-derived) and adding endings like '-isha' to create new feminine names. The '-isha' suffix has been incorporated into numerous modern names and may have connections to names with various linguistic influences. Glennisha has always been relatively uncommon, making it a distinctive choice. The name exemplifies creative naming trends that sought to establish unique identities while maintaining connections to more traditional name elements.
