Nisha

Meaning of Nisha

Nisha, whose Sanskrit heritage literally means “night,” unfolds like a velvet curtain across a tropical skyline, inviting dreams to pirouette in the silver glow of the moon. Pronounced NEE-sha in both Hindi and Arabic, the name carries a quiet elegance—like a soft guitar refrain drifting through a moonlit plaza—yet pulses with the vibrant promise of dusk. In many cultures, night is a time of mystery and renewal, and Nisha embodies that duality: she is both the hush of evening and the spark of new beginnings. In the United States, Nisha has gently floated among the top thousand names for decades, a testament to its timeless allure and warm, whispered charm.
