Sanisha is Indian in Origin.

Sanisha is a modern feminine given name shaped by multiple traditions. In South Asian usage it is often read as a blend of Sanskrit elements - Nisha (“night”) or Isha (“ruler; goddess”) - combined with the prefix Sa-/San-, suggesting “night’s grace” or “devoted to the goddess.” In English-speaking contexts influenced by -isha names, it also works as an inventive elaboration prized for euphony rather than a single fixed etymology.

Usage rose in the late 20th and early 21st centuries across the Indian diaspora and in multicultural communities in the Caribbean, Africa, and North America. Variant spellings include Saneesha, Saneisha, Saniesha, Shanisha, and Sanesha; related forms include Nisha, Isha, Tanisha, Janisha, and Shanice. Common nicknames are Sani, Nisha, and Nia. Its flexibility and cross-cultural feel keep it in light but steady circulation for parents seeking a familiar sound with layered, pan-Indic or modern creative meaning.
