Daisha is English in Origin.

Daisha is a modern American feminine given name, most commonly interpreted as a creative blend of the prefix Da- with Aisha (Arabic ‘Ā’ishah), yielding the meaning “alive, living, prosperous.” It emerged within late-20th-century African-American naming traditions that favor melodic coinages and -sha endings. Some families also connect Daisha to Deja (from French déjà “already”), or to Dacia, though these are secondary folk etymologies; the Aisha connection remains the prevailing linguistic source.

In U.S. data, Daisha appears by the 1980s and saw wider use through the 1990s–2000s before declining, remaining largely American in distribution. Spelling variants include Daysha, Deisha, Daesha, Daishia, and Daisia; related forms and lookalikes include Daija/Daijah, Deja, and the separate Slavic name Dasha. Short forms Dai and Sha occur in casual use. Overall, Daisha retains a contemporary feel while echoing Aisha’s life-affirming meaning.
