Life; alive and well
Nyeisha is a modern American name, likely a creative blend of the Arabic name Aisha, meaning 'alive' or 'living,' and the prefix 'Ny-.' It gained some popularity in the late 20th century as part of a trend of inventing melodic, multi-syllabic names within African American communities.
