Miesha is English in Origin.
Miesha (pronounced MEE-sha) is a modern English given name with layered roots. Most commonly it is a spelling variant of Misha, the Russian diminutive of Mikhail (Michael), from Hebrew Mikha'el, meaning "Who is like God?" In African-American naming traditions, the form has also been shaped by the sound pattern of Aisha/Keisha, so some interpret Miesha as a blend that carries Aisha’s Arabic sense of "alive, living" alongside the Michael-derived meaning.
Usage in the United States rose from the 1970s through the 1990s and remains familiar through figures such as athlete Miesha Tate. While Misha is unisex in Slavic and international contexts, Miesha is used chiefly for girls in English-speaking countries. Variant spellings and relatives include Meisha, Meesha, Myesha, Myisha, Myeisha, Misha, and Aisha-adjacent forms like Keisha and Tiesha. Short forms include Mi and Mish. The name balances a global origin story with a contemporary, melodic profile.
