Vanisha is a modern Indian feminine name, generally traced to Sanskrit elements.

In any case, Vanisha is not attested in classical sources and functions as a contemporary, Sanskritic coinage.

The name gained currency across North India and the global Indian diaspora from the late 20th century, with wider notice in the early 2000s through figures such as Vanisha Mittal.

Usage remains strongest in Hindu communities, where its cultured, devotional overtones appeal.
