Laneesha is in Origin.

Laneesha is a modern American feminine given name, most likely created by combining the fashionable prefix La- with Neesha/Nisha. It arose within African-American naming styles of the late 20th century, alongside related forms such as Tanisha, Kenisha, and Lanisha. The double-e spelling highlights the long vowel and distinguishes it from Lanisha.

Its meaning is interpreted from its elements: Nisha in Sanskrit/Hindi signifies “night,” while Aneesha/Aneesha in Sanskrit can mean “limitless” or “supreme”; therefore Laneesha is often read as “night” or “supreme.” Some also hear echoes of Arabic Anisa (“friendly, companionable”), though this link is phonetic rather than etymological. Variants include Laneisha, Laniesha, Laneshia, LaNeesha, La'Neesha, and Lanisha; short forms include Lanee and Nisha. Usage has been modest in the United States and rare elsewhere, giving the name a contemporary, individualized feel.
