Demisha

Meaning & origin

Demisha is a modern American invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1974. Its popularity peaked in 1986, during which the name saw its highest recorded usage, though it never entered the national top 1000 rankings. Since then, Demisha has maintained a low but stable level of use, with fewer than 5 births per year in recent decades. The name reflects a broader trend of the 1970s and 1980s of creating distinctive feminine names by adding the suffix -isha to existing name elements, a pattern shared with names like Keisha and Latisha. Demisha has no strong regional concentration in the United States and no associated top states in the data. As a non-traditional coinage, it carries no historical or cultural baggage, making it a flexible choice for modern parents seeking a unique and melodic name.
