Meaning & origin
Jonesha is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1987. Its peak usage occurred in 1995, but it remains extremely rare. The name likely follows the pattern of similar invented names like Tanesha and Keisha, combining a root (possibly Joanne or Jones) with the popular suffix -esha. Despite its low frequency, Jonesha has maintained a stable presence since its introduction, with no significant uptick or decline. Since it was not recorded before 1987, the name is almost entirely a product of late 20th-century naming trends. It has never appeared in the top 1000 nationally. Jonesha is predominantly given to girls.
