History & Origin

Kamisha is a late-century American coinage, joining the common Ka- prefix to the fashionable -isha ending heard across Keisha, Tamisha and their kin. It was assembled for its melody rather than from a single traditional word. Recorded from around 1972, it crested about 1985 at just over sixty girls a year.

Kamisha stayed uncommon and faded after the twenty-tens, sharing its small pool with many similar coinages. Three flowing beats, it reads as a warm product of its era; a girl given it at its peak is now around forty.
