Meaning & origin
Antonisha is a modern American name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1980. It reached its peak popularity in 1996, when it was given to a modest number of baby girls, and has since maintained a steady but low level of usage. The name is a typical example of late 20th-century invented names that combine a familiar root like Anton or Antonia with the popular suffix -isha, which also appears in names such as Tanisha and Aisha. Because the name has never ranked among the top 1000 names, its one-in-N ratio is very high, meaning it is a truly distinctive choice. While it did not show up in any state's top names, its usage has been consistent across the decades since its first recorded year.
Antonisha is a modern invented name, first recorded in the United States in the 1980s. It appears to blend the Roman family name Antonius (the root of Antonia) with the feminine suffix -isha, a popular ending in late 20th-century American coinages (e.g., Tanisha, Aisha). The name saw its peak usage in 1996 and has remained in low but steady use since.
