History & Origin

Dennisha is an invented name that joins a Denn- element, from Dennis and Denise, with the -isha ending popular in the 1970s. Dennis and Denise both trace to the Greek Dionysos; this coinage gives that root a modern sound. It appears in United States records from around 1978 and reached a modest high in the early 1990s. It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak.

A girl named Dennisha from that stretch would be in her thirties or forties now. The name blends a familiar mid-century base with the era's favorite ending and never became common, reading today as a melodic coinage typical of its decades.

Did you know? Dennisha has a festive root: through Dennis and Denise it goes back to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and celebration.
