Annisha

Meaning of Annisha

Annisha, a feminine given name characterised by its phonological rendering in English as uh-NEE-shuh (/əˈniːʃə/), exhibits a composite etymology that may derive from the Sanskrit anīśā, meaning "continuous" or "nightless," with secondary influences traceable to the Arabic A’isha, meaning "alive" or "she who lives," a convergence that endows the name with semantic associations of vitality and uninterrupted endurance. Within the United States, Annisha first appears in Social Security Administration data in the early 1970s, maintaining an infrequent annual occurrence (typically single digits per year) and fluctuating in rank between approximately 755 in 1978 and 895 in 2000; this statistical profile underscores its status as a rare but persistent entry in the Anglo-American naming landscape.
