Abysha is in Origin.

Abysha is a modern English given name with roots in Hebrew forms such as Abisha/Avisha. It combines avi, “my father,” with either shai, “gift,” or a shortened form of yeshua, “salvation,” yielding readings like “gift of my father” or “my father is salvation.”

Though Abysha itself is scarcely attested in premodern sources, it echoes several biblical names: Abishai (commander under King David), Abishua (a priestly ancestor), and Abijah (borne by both men and women in the Tanakh). In contemporary use, Abysha appears sporadically in English-language records as a distinctive, gender-flexible alternative to its scriptural cousins. Spelling variants include Abisha, Abishah, and Avisha; related forms are Abishai/Avishai, Abishua, and Abijah. The Y-spelling in Abysha reflects modern Anglicization and may align the nickname Abby with the name’s opening syllable.
