Meaning & origin

Temisha is a rare American feminine name that emerged in the 1970s, part of a wave of creatively constructed names blending suffixes like "-isha" and "-mika." According to U.S. Social Security data, the name was first recorded in 1973 and saw its highest usage in 1980. After that peak, the name remained in sporadic use through the 1980s and 1990s but has since become exceedingly uncommon, with fewer than five births in recent years. The name is most closely associated with the 1980s, a decade when similar constructed names were fashionable. It has not appeared on any state-level popularity lists in modern data.

Temisha is a modern given name that first appeared in the 1970s. It is likely an invented name formed by blending sounds from popular names of the era such as Tamika, Teresa, or Aisha. The name saw its peak usage in 1980 according to U.S. Social Security data, but has since become very rare.
