Marquesha
Meaning of Marquesha
Marquesha is a feminine given name that combines the aristocratic roots of the French marquise (and its Spanish counterpart marqués) with the distinctive “-esha” suffix characteristic of African-American naming innovation. Pronounced mahr-KEE-shuh (/mɑrˈkiːʃə/), Marquesha carries subtle echoes of nobility while reflecting late-20th-century American creativity. Although it never broke into the top tiers of popular baby names, it maintained a stable presence between 1980 and 2008, consistently ranking in the 700s to 900s and peaking in usage in the early 1990s. This measured popularity, coupled with its rich linguistic heritage, lends the name an air of poised individuality—an appealing blend of historical gravitas and contemporary flair.
