Markisha
Meaning of Markisha
Markisha is a modern American feminine name, likely coined in the early 1970s by blending the Latin root Marcus (meaning “warlike”) with the isha suffix characteristic of many contemporary Anglo-American creations. Pronounced mahr-KEE-shuh (/mɑrˈkiːʃə/), the name offers a clear, rhythmic quality that sets it apart from more traditional forms and evokes associations of both strength and individuality. Social Security data show that Markisha first entered the U.S. top 1000 in 1972, rose modestly through the late 1970s and early 1990s with annual counts approaching seventy, and then declined to fewer than ten births by 2007. This trajectory underscores its status as a deliberately uncommon choice, favored by parents seeking a balance between classical resonance and contemporary distinctiveness.
