History & Origin

Moeisha is a variant of Moesha, a coined name usually understood as Mo- joined to Aisha, from Arabic, 'alive' or 'living'. Its brief window in American records coincides with the popular 1990s sitcom 'Moesha', which almost certainly carried the name to the parents who chose it.

Moeisha was never common in the United States, confined to a few years in the mid-to-late 1990s and given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1996. A girl named Moeisha then is in her late twenties today.

Did you know? The sitcom 'Moesha', starring the singer Brandy, premiered in the mid-1990s, and this spelling shows up in the records right at that moment.
