Meaning & origin
Myesha is a modern American name first recorded in 1970. It reached its peak popularity in 1993, and data from 2025 shows it has been rising in use since 2022. The name is overwhelmingly given to girls and reflects a trend of inventive respellings and blends in late-20th-century American naming. While its exact meaning is unclear, it likely draws from the popular short name Mya combined with the -esha suffix found in names like Aisha. Myesha has not been associated with any top states in recent years, indicating it remains relatively uncommon but has a steady following.
Myesha appears to be a modern American coinage, likely formed by blending the popular name Mya (itself a variant of Maya) with the fashionable -esha suffix seen in names like Aisha or Keisha.
