Quineisha is of African origin, derived from the Swahili word 'quino', meaning nine, and combined with the French feminine suffix '-isha'. This unique name gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, contributing to its distinctiveness even today. Spelling variations include Quinisha and Quinesha, but the original Quineisha remains the most recognized form.
