Arneisha is English in Origin.

Arneisha is a modern African-American feminine name formed within late-20th-century U.S. creative naming patterns. It blends the popular initial Ar- with the melodic -neisha ending, a suffix seen in Niesha/Neisha and in coinages inspired by Aisha. The resulting form is phonetic and stylistic rather than tied to a single source language, though it resonates with Arabic and South Asian name elements familiar in Black American communities through cultural exchange and media.

Usage rose in the 1980s–1990s and remains rare and mainly U.S.-based, with many spellings. Variants and near-variants include Arneesha, Arnesha, Arnisha, Arneishia, Aneisha, and the shorter Neisha/Niesha; common nicknames are Nisha or Neisha. Because the name is a blend, no fixed meaning is standard, but bearers often associate it with Aisha (“alive, prosperous,” Arabic) or with Nisha (“night,” Sanskrit). Less commonly, Ar- is linked to Germanic Arn- (“eagle”), though this is etymologically speculative.
