History & Origin
Cornisha sits among the invented American girl names formed from an opening plus the -nisha suffix. The Cor- start echoes older names like Cornelia, and the name reached a modest high in the early nineteen-nineties.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, and its run was brief. A girl named Cornisha at that high would be in her mid-thirties today. Its full kor-NEE-shuh sound gives it a warm, of-its-time flourish.
