Meaning & origin
Meosha is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1972, reflecting the era's creativity in naming. It reached its peak popularity in 1993, but it has never been common enough to enter the national top 1,000, and its trajectory has remained stable since. The name exemplifies the late 20th-century trend of distinctive, melodious coinages with the '-osha' ending.
Meosha appears to be a modern coinage, possibly formed by combining the popular prefix 'Me-' (as in Megan, Melissa) with the fashionable '-osha' or '-eesha' suffix seen in names like Keosha and Tanesha. It emerged in the United States in the 1970s and was most popular in the 1990s, mirroring the trend for distinctive, phonetically spelled names with a melodic sound.
