Rhonisha is a unique and captivating name of African origin, meaning 'first born daughter.' It gained prominence in the United States during the late 20th century but remains uncommon elsewhere, contributing to its distinctive appeal. The name consists of two parts: Rhon (of unknown origin) and Ish(a), which means 'God is my oath' or 'God is with us.' This combination creates a powerful and harmonious moniker that stands out among more traditional names. Rhonisha has been popularized by notable figures such as American musician Rhonisha 'Fabolous' Mason, further solidifying its status as a modern classic.
"Rhonisha experienced a gap in popularity from 1981 to 1991, with five births each year for two consecutive years and then a notable increase to seven births a decade later."
