History & Origin

Corneisha is a late-twentieth-century coinage, fusing a Corn- opening that recalls Cornelia to the fashionable -eisha ending. Names built on -eisha were a distinctive, creative naming trend, and Corneisha is one of its rarer forms.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1998. A girl named Corneisha then is in her twenties or thirties today.
