History & Origin
Oneisha is a made-in-America name that builds on the -neisha and -nisha element of Keneisha and Tanisha, with an unusual O- opening. Part of a rich vein of rhythmic girls' coinages especially favored in African-American families, it crested in the mid-1990s.
Oneisha was genuinely rare, borne by only a couple of hundred girls before it slipped from the records by the early 2000s. An Oneisha from her peak is now around thirty. The name reads as a 1990s coinage and has not revived, keeping the smooth sound its -neisha ending gives it.
