Iisha is a unique and beautiful name of African origin, particularly from the Igbo culture of Nigeria. It means "God answers." The name is often spelled with two 'i's, but variations such as Ishia, Isia, or Isha are also used. Historically, it has been more common among females, though it can be used for males as well in some cultures. In English-speaking countries, it gained popularity in the late 20th century and early 21st century, likely due to its charming sound and significant meaning.
The name Iisha experienced varying popularity over time, with a peak of 21 births in 1977 and consistent high numbers between 1979 to 1984 ranging from 16 to 18 births per year. However, after 1985, the popularity declined steadily, with fewer than 10 births annually until it reached a low of 5 births in both 1994 and 1995.
