History & Origin
Demisha is a coined American name built from the fashionable De- prefix and Misha, chosen for its gentle sound. Names of this shape spread through African-American communities in the late twentieth century, and Demisha is assembled by ear rather than inherited.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the mid-nineteen-eighties, and it faded within a generation. A girl named Demisha then is around forty today, from the peak of the De- name wave.
