History & Origin

Arneisha is a coinage built on the Ar- prefix and the widely used -eisha ending of Keisha and Aisha. That -isha element goes back to Aisha, the Arabic name for 'living' or 'alive,' but the full name is a modern American creation prized for its bright, balanced rhythm.

The name stayed rare and of its moment, peaking around 1995 with roughly twenty girls a year before fading. A girl named Arneisha then is in her early thirties today, part of the 1990s -eisha wave.

Did you know? The -eisha ending shared with Keisha and Lakeisha was one of the most fashionable sound-parts in African-American naming through the 1980s and 1990s.
