Saisha

Meaning of Saisha

Saisha is a feminine name of dual heritage, rooted both in East Africa and South Asia, where it carries a sense of vitality in Swahili (pronounced sah-EE-shah) and a gentle resolve in Hindi (pronounced SAY-shuh). In the United States, its adoption has been modest but steady: first registered in the early 1980s, it has appeared each year since with occurrences ranging from a single-digit count in the late 2000s to a recent high of 57 newborns in 2020, settling at 52 in 2024 (rank 898). This pattern reflects a balanced blend of uniqueness and familiarity, appealing to parents who appreciate a name that bridges cultural contexts without blending into the most common charts. While it has never cracked the top 500, Saisha’s persistent presence suggests an understated confidence, offering a distinctive yet approachable choice for a modern daughter.
