Marquesha is in Origin.

Marquesha is a modern American feminine given name formed from the Romance noble title root marqu-/marques- (Spanish marqués, French marquis, “marquess”) and the popular -esha/-eisha ending heard in Keisha and Aisha. By association with the feminine forms marquesa/marquise, it carries the sense of “noblewoman” or “marchioness,” ultimately tracing to Old French marche, “border,” the territory governed by a marquess.

Used chiefly in the United States, the name rose with late-20th-century African-American creative naming styles, which blended prestige titles with melodic suffixes. Spellings and close variants include Marquisha, Marquiesha, Markeisha, Markesha, and Marquesa (related Romance form); masculine or unisex relatives are Marquise and Marquis. Short forms such as Kesha, Quesha, and Mar are common. Though never broadly popular nationwide, Marquesha remains distinctive and expressive, offering a regal meaning with contemporary rhythm.
