Abisha Origin and Meaning

The name Abisha is a girl's name.

Abisha is a feminine name with biblical and Hebrew origins, derived from the name Abishai, meaning 'father of a gift' or 'my father is a gift.' The original masculine form appears in the Old Testament as one of King David's mighty warriors and the nephew of David. The feminine adaptation Abisha maintains the meaningful connection to 'gift' while offering a softer sound. This uncommon name has been occasionally used in Christian communities, particularly among those who appreciate its biblical heritage. Abisha has a melodic quality with its three syllables and gentle ending. While never reaching widespread popularity in Western countries, the name has an exotic yet accessible quality that appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with historical depth and spiritual significance.
