Prisha is a feminine name with roots deeply entrenched in Sanskrit, and it travels through various cultures and regions. You can find the name in different origins, notably Tamil, Sikh, Nepali, Sinhala, and Hindi. In the etymology of Prisha, the Sanskrit origins unveil a significant meaning ‘to sprinkle’ and ‘weary.’

The name Prisha was used as a surname in Britain and Ireland.

In 1851, the Prisha family name was notably present in Scotland, particularly in Lanarkshire, where two Prisha families resided. Remarkably, this constituted 100% of all recorded Prishas in Scotland then, making Lanarkshire the hub of Prisha families in 1851.
