Menasha is a unique and historic name of Hebrew origin, meaning "dweller by the fountain." It is derived from the Hebrew words "menah" (to dwell) and "sha" (fountain). The name was popularized in the United States during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries due to the city of Menasha, Wisconsin, which was founded in the early 1850s. The city's name is attributed to its location along the shores of Lake Winnebago and the Little Menominee River, a tributary of the larger Menominee River.
