Niquisha

Niquisha is a feminine name that emerged in American naming records during the 1970s and reached peak usage in the 1980s-1990s. It appears to be a creative formation, possibly combining elements like 'Ni-' or 'Niq-' with the suffix '-quisha' or '-isha,' which became a popular ending in several names during this period. The suffix may relate to the name Keisha, which some sources link to the biblical name Keziah (meaning 'cassia tree'). The name exemplifies innovative naming trends of the late 20th century that valued distinctive sounds and unique combinations. Niquisha's specific linguistic origin is not clearly documented, but it follows phonetic patterns common in creative naming practices of its era. The name has seen decreased usage in recent decades compared to its peak period but continues to be used occasionally, representing an established pattern in contemporary naming traditions.

Pronounced ni-KEE-shuh.

As of October 2026, Niquisha ranked #11594 for girls in US births in 1981 SSA.
