Daisha

Daisha is a feminine name that emerged in American usage in the latter part of the 20th century. The name may have multiple possible origins: it could be a variation of Dasha (a Russian diminutive of Daria, meaning 'to possess good'), a creative combination of the prefix 'Da-' with the suffix '-isha,' or possibly inspired by other names ending in similar sounds like Keisha or Aisha. Daisha gained modest popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s, appearing on the U.S. Social Security Administration's top 1000 names list during this period. The name carries a melodic quality with its balanced syllables and demonstrates the trend toward creating distinctive personal names with appealing sound patterns. While less common today, Daisha continues to be chosen for its contemporary feel, rhythmic pronunciation, and distinctive quality.

Pronounced DY-shuh.

As of October 2026, Daisha ranked #5008 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #680 in 1995.
