How to Pronounce Damisha
Pronounced duh-MEE-shuh /dəˈmiːʃə/Medium
Meaning: Damisha is an invented African American name from the 1970s. It sets the productive Da- opening (as in Damica and Dashawn) against the -misha ending shared with Tamisha and the Arabic-rooted Aisha, 'living.' The result is a soft three-beat name whose charm is its sound, not a single dictionary meaning.Low

History & Origin
Damisha surfaces in United States records from the early 1970s, a coinage of the Da- and -isha era. It carries no inherited etymology; it reads as a gentle pairing of a familiar prefix with the fashionable -isha ending.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-1990s high before fading. A Damisha from that time is in her mid-thirties now, from a generation fond of made-to-measure names.
