Shatisha is a unique and beautiful given name of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin. The name itself does not have a universally agreed-upon meaning, but it's often associated with attributes like "peace," "joy," or "lucky one." Shatisha first gained prominence in the United States during the late 20th century, becoming popular among African American parents seeking names that reflected their cultural heritage and had a distinctive sound. It is rarely encountered outside of these communities, contributing to its rarity and uniqueness. In terms of usage, Shatisha has typically been given more often to girls, though it's worth noting that it can be unisex due to its Yoruba origins. The name's spelling can vary slightly; some common alternatives include Shatiqua and Shatika, but the most widely used form is Shatisha.
The name Shatisha peaked in popularity between 1974 and 1986 with a total of 87 births during these years. However, it declined sharply afterwards, with only 20 births recorded from 1988 to 1995.
