History & Origin

Ronisha is an original coinage, part of a rich mid-to-late-twentieth-century tradition of building fresh names from favored sounds — here a Ro- prefix plus the -isha ending shared by Keisha and Latisha. There is no ancient root to trace; its meaning lives in its music. It reached its peak in 1992.

A Ronisha from the peak is now in her early thirties. The name is tied closely to that era's style and has not revived; parents drawn to its rhythm today more often pick a currently trending -iyah name.

Did you know? Ronisha belongs to the family of Ke-, La-, and Ta- names with the fashionable -isha ending that peaked in African American naming around the early 1990s; it crested in 1992.
