Meesha is an uncommon, yet captivating feminine given name of Indian origin. It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Misha', which means 'wish' or 'desire'. Meesha is also sometimes associated with the Hindu goddess Mahaisha, who is known for her courage and strength. This name offers a unique touch while still having a meaningful and powerful root.
The name Meesha has seen fluctuating popularity over the past six decades, with peaks occurring in the late '70s to mid-'80s and again around the turn of the century. It experienced its most notable surge in the early '90s, reaching a high of 21 births in 1990. Since then, its popularity has generally declined, though it has shown some recent stability with consistent numbers between five and twelve births annually from 2015 onwards. Overall, there have been a total of 350 Meesha births recorded since 1969.
