Meaning and origin of Arisha
Arisha is a modern name from South Asia, usually linked to the Arabic ʿarsh, 'throne', and explained as 'exalted' or 'heavenly'. That explanation is a popular one rather than the meaning of any classical Arabic word, and Arab families do not traditionally use the name. In Russia, Arisha is an unrelated pet form of Irina, so the same name can be heard in very different places.
