History & Origin

Temisha is a contemporary coinage, a Te- opening joined to -misha, an ending shared with Tamisha. Names of this kind were built for their music in late-twentieth-century America; Temisha's meaning is carried by its rhythm rather than an old root.

It appeared briefly in the early nineteen-eighties, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak. A girl named Temisha then is in her forties today.
