History & Origin

Davisha is an American coinage joining a Da- or Davi- element to the fashionable -isha ending. Names in the -isha family multiplied among Black American parents from the 1970s, each a fresh, personal blend. Davisha first appears in United States birth records around 1977 and touched a small high around 1993.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, and faded by the early 2000s. A Davisha from that high would be in her thirties now.

Did you know? Davisha pairs a Davi- sound, echoing David, with the -isha ending shared by dozens of 1970s and 1980s names like Latisha and Keisha.
