Meaning & origin

Mikisha is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1974. It saw its highest frequency in 1976, though it never reached national top 1,000 status. The name was created during a period when blended and unique names were popular. Its usage has remained stable but very rare, with no strong regional concentration. Like many such coinages, Mikisha likely drew from then-trendy endings like -isha and the prefix Mi-.

Mikisha first appears in U.S. records in the 1970s. It may be a blend of popular sounds from names like Mika and Keisha, or a respelling of Mykisha. There is no known meaning outside of its modern coinage.
