Daneisha is in Origin.

Daneisha is a modern American feminine given name formed by blending the Dan-/Da- element from Daniel/Danielle or Dana with the -eisha/-isha ending popularized by names like Aisha and Keisha. Because it is a coinage rather than a traditional theophoric name, its meaning is interpretive: Dan- can evoke the Hebrew root in Daniel (“God is my judge”), while -eisha echoes Aisha, Arabic for “alive, living.” Many families value it for its melodic rhythm and pan‑cultural associations rather than a single fixed etymology.

The name emerged in late 20th‑century U.S. usage, particularly within African‑American communities that pioneered creative blends and distinctive spellings from the 1970s through the 1990s. Although Daneisha itself has remained rare nationally, related forms such as Denisha and Deneisha have appeared more often on state and SSA lists. Common variant spellings include Daniesha, Daneesha, Danesha, Deneisha, Denesha, and Donisha; related names include Dana, Danielle, Aisha, Keisha, and Niesha.
