Phyllisha

Phyllisha is a creative, feminine spelling variation of Felicia, which derives from the Latin word 'felix' meaning 'happy' or 'fortunate.' The distinctive spelling with 'Ph' and 'sh' adds a unique visual element while maintaining the original pronunciation. This variant emerged during the late 20th century when alternative spellings of traditional names became increasingly popular. Phyllisha peaked in usage during the 1990s in the United States but remains relatively uncommon. The name carries the positive connotations of its Latin roots while offering parents a way to provide their daughter with a name that stands out on paper but remains familiar to the ear.

Pronounced fil-EE-shuh.

As of October 2026, Phyllisha ranked #15113 in US births in 1994 SSA, peaked at #10867 in 1987.
