Jaleisha is an uncommon yet captivating female given name of African American origin, derived from the combination of two elements: "Ja" meaning 'jaunty' or 'cheerful', and "leisha", a variant of Elizabeth, which means 'God is my oath'. This beautiful and unique moniker was popularized by the late R&B singer Aaliyah, who often went by the nickname Jaleisha.
"Jaleisha saw its peak popularity with 10 births in 1991, but has remained consistently popular from 1989 to 1993 and again in 1996, with a total of 41 births over these years."
