Meaning & origin
Toneisha is a modern American coinage that emerged in 1982, the first year it was recorded. It reached its peak popularity in 1991, but has since declined significantly, with no recent rank or 1-in-N frequency available due to very low usage. The name is part of a trend of -isha suffix names that were particularly popular in African American communities during the 1990s. It has remained relatively stable in its rare usage over the past decades. No top states are recorded for Toneisha, indicating it never concentrated strongly in any particular region.
Toneisha first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1982. It belongs to a set of names formed by adding the -isha suffix (familiar from names like Aisha or Keisha) to a root like Toni or Tonia. The name saw modest use in the 1990s, peaking in 1991, but has since become very rare.
