Canesha is an uncommon but beautiful and unique female given name of African origin. It is derived from the Yoruba name Kanisha, which means "I am not a child." The name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly within African American communities in the United States. Spelling variations include Caniesha and Kaneesha.
"The name Canesha experienced a notable rise in popularity between the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a significant increase from 13 births in 1989 to 21 births in 1990. However, it saw a decline afterwards, with the highest number of births in any year after 1990 being 13 (in 1992 and 1993)."
