Delightful, pleasure, or joyful
Delisha is a modern American elaboration of the name Delicia, which is derived from the Latin word 'deliciae' meaning delight or pleasure. It shares the same linguistic root as the English word delicious and the name Felicia. It rose to modest popularity in the late 20th century as part of a trend of creating rhythmic, feminine names using the -isha suffix.
