History & Origin
Artesha is a contemporary coinage that joins an Ar- prefix to the -tesha sound found across several African American girl names. Built for its melody rather than handed down, it belongs to the inventive naming of the late twentieth century and appears in only small numbers. Any meaning comes from association with its parts, not from a single root.
Artesha was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high around 1982, and it never spread widely. A girl named Artesha then would be in her forties today.
