Risha
Meaning of Risha
Risha is a feminine name of Hindi origin, pronounced REE-shah (/ˈriːʃɑː/) in its native context and adapted as REE-shuh (/ˈriʃə/) in English. Derived from Sanskrit roots associated with knowledge and movement, it carries a quietly dignified character that appeals to families valuing both tradition and modernity. In the United States, Risha has maintained a modest yet steady presence in Social Security rankings—typically appearing between the 700s and 900s over the past several decades—and counted 19 newborn girls in 2024. This enduring, low-key popularity underscores its appeal as a name that bridges cultural heritage with contemporary Anglo-American sensibilities.
