History & Origin
Joneisha joins Jo, long a warm short name in its own right, to the -neisha ending shared with Keneisha and Laneisha. Names of this kind were chosen for their rhythm, and Joneisha carries no set meaning beyond its parts.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-nineties. A girl named Joneisha then would be an adult now, her name a marker of that decade's inventive style.
