History & Origin

Camesha is an original coinage rather than an inherited name, formed by joining a soft Ca- prefix to the popular -mesha close. It is a clear product of its moment, when African American families often built a daughter's name fresh from admired sounds.

It stayed at the edge of the record, a couple dozen girls a year around 1978, and faded by the two-thousands. A Camesha from then is in her mid-forties now, her name a neat sample of the era's made-to-order style.

Did you know? Camesha shares its -mesha ending with a whole set of contemporaries, Kamisha, Tamesha, Lamesha, all assembled from the same fashionable parts.
