Meaning & origin
Cornesha is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1985, a time when creative invented names ending in '-esha' were gaining popularity. While it never entered the top 1000, it saw its peak usage in 1996, during which year 5 baby girls were given the name. Since then, its usage has been stable but very rare, with fewer than 5 births annually. The name is overwhelmingly recorded for girls. Though no top states are listed for Cornesha, its stylistic peers include similar-sounding names like LaToya and Darnell, reflecting an African American naming tradition that flourished in the late 20th century. Due to its recent coinage, no definitive etymology or meaning can be established.
Cornesha is a modern American coinage, first recorded in 1985.

The name saw a modest peak in usage in 1996 and remains rare.
