Martisha is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of African American origin. It is believed to have been created during the late 20th century, likely as a blend of two popular names from that era: Martika and Melissa. The name Martisha has not gained widespread popularity but remains unique and appealing due to its phonetic beauty and rhythmic sound.
The name Martisha had a peak in popularity during the mid-1970s to early 1980s with over 15 births each year from 1977 to 1982, reaching its highest point in 1985 with 22 births. However, it declined steadily afterward, dropping below 10 births per year since 1996, and the last recorded birth was in 2003. Overall, there were a total of 406 babies named Martisha from 1968 to 2003.
