History & Origin

Aneshia is an American spelling of Anisha, a Sanskrit name meaning 'without night' or 'nightless', from an-, 'not', and nisha, 'night'. The respelling gives it an -eshia ending common in African American naming while keeping the luminous meaning of the parent.

It stayed a small name: only a couple dozen girls a year, with a high point around 1992 and a run that thins out by the mid-two-thousands. A girl named Aneshia then is in her thirties now. It sits with the Anisha and -eshia names of its era rather than as a current favorite.

Did you know? Aneshia carries Anisha's bright meaning: from Sanskrit an- 'not' and nisha 'night', it reads as 'nightless', a name of continual light.
