Nysha
Meaning of Nysha
Nysha (pronounced NY-shuh) is a name that feels like a gentle breeze at dusk, carrying whispers of mystery, creativity and quiet power. Inspired by the Sanskrit word nisha, meaning “night,” and shaped by inventive English-language naming traditions, it has been steadily carving out its own place on American baby charts since the early 1990s. Each year, a devoted dozen to two dozen parents welcome their daughters as Nysha—14 in 2024 alone—earning the name a cozy spot in the low 900s of popularity. Warm and melodic, Nysha evokes the first star blinking to life after sunset and reminds us that beauty, resilience and possibility shine brightest in the hush of twilight—though it certainly doesn’t need any glitter to sparkle.
