Anisha -
keeping with the times

Anisha is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Anisha - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 944 in 1984. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Anisha really in tune with her generation.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Anisha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
