Amisha, pronounced uh-MEE-shuh (/əˈmiːʃə/), is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the term amiṣā, which literally signifies “truthful” or “honest.” In its classical semantic field, the name denotes an absence of artifice, evoking qualities of integrity and authenticity central to Vedic and Ayurvedic thought. From a demographic standpoint in the United States, Amisha’s annual frequency has oscillated between five and thirty-six occurrences since 1974, most recently registering nine newborns in 2024 and securing the 941st rank among female names. This measured trajectory underscores its enduring niche status within Anglo-American naming conventions, prized for both its etymological depth and its cross-cultural resonance.
