Antisha is in Origin.

Antisha is a modern given name, chiefly recorded in the United States. It likely arose as a creative blend placing the prefix An-/Ann- before Tisha, which functions both as a short form of Letitia/Latisha and as an independent name. Through Letitia (Latin laetitia), Antisha is commonly interpreted as “joy” or “gladness.” The name aligns with late‑20th‑century African‑American naming patterns that favored lyrical -isha endings and inventive blends, and remains uncommon elsewhere.

Variants and spellings include Antesha, Anteesha, and Antiesha; related names are Tisha, Latisha, Letitia, Tanisha, and Aisha. Nicknames include Tish and Ani. While not tied to a single traditional source, the name sits at the crossroads of Latin laetitia (“joy”) and the wider -isha family, which also echoes Aisha (“alive”) and, in South Asia, Tisha associated with Sanskrit Tishya (“auspicious”).
