English origin
“A phonetic respelling of Alicia with South Asian and African American roots, Alesha gained prominence in the 1980s-90s. The name trades formal structure for a more casual, friendly sound while maintaining the classical 'Alic-' etymology. It represents a shift toward names that feel accessible and contemporary.”
