What is the meaning of the name Irisha ?

Irisha is Slavic in Origin.

Irisha is a Slavic affectionate form of Irina, used in Russian and Ukrainian (Ириша), and increasingly adopted as an independent given name in the diaspora. It stems ultimately from Greek Eirene, “peace,” the source of Irene. In Eastern Europe it arose within the rich system of pet names formed with -sha (as in Sasha, Dasha, Misha), and appears in 20th-century records as a familiar and sometimes official given name. The growth of global naming fashions has brought Irisha into occasional English use, where its sound also echoes Iris, though the roots are distinct.

Variant spellings include Irysha and the base forms Irina and Iryna; related names and diminutives include Irene, Eirene, Arina, Ira, Rina, Irinka, and Irochka. The core meaning remains “peace” or “peaceful one,” associated with early Christian St. Irene and Byzantine imperial usage. Irisha offers a soft, friendly style with cross-cultural familiarity and a clear, positive meaning.
