History & Origin

Dayzha respells Daisha or Dasia, a Da- coinage of the nineteen-nineties whose soft ending the zh spelling makes explicit. Its meaning rests on its sound rather than a fixed root, which we note.

It appeared in the United States in the mid-to-late nineteen-nineties, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak, and stayed rare. A Dayzha from that time is in her twenties or thirties now.

Did you know? The zh spelling in Dayzha spells out a sound English usually hides, the soft consonant heard in the middle of 'measure,' giving Daisha a more phonetic look.
