Meaning & origin
Falisha is a modern American name that first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records in 1966. While it has never broken into the top 1,000 baby names, its peak year came in 1985, when it was given to the most babies. The name's trajectory has remained stable over the decades, neither rising sharply nor falling into disuse. Its origins are not clearly documented; it may have emerged as a creative variation of Felicia, combined with the popular -isha suffix seen in names like Aisha and Tisha. Because Falisha has never been among the most common names, it has no strong association with any particular state. Today it remains a rare but recognizable choice, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar-sounding name for their daughter.
