History & Origin
Shalisha is a coined American girls' name that appears in United States records from the late 1960s on. It joins the Sha- prefix to a -lisha ending shared with Alisha and Felisha, part of a wave of freshly built names among Black American families. Its appeal is its smooth, repeating sound rather than a dictionary root.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its 1990 high and rare throughout. A woman named Shalisha from then is now in her thirties.
