Meaning & origin
Meshia first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1968, a time when creative respellings and newly coined names were gaining popularity. Its usage peaked in 1980, and since then it has remained stable but rare. The name never entered the top 1000, and it does not have clear ties to any historical or linguistic tradition, suggesting it is a modern invention. Meshia is almost exclusively given to girls, reflecting broader naming trends that favor unique, phonetically pleasing sounds.
