We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Amisha (अमीषा) is a modern Indian girls' name, also spelled Ameesha. On name lists it is usually explained as "honest" or "truthful", and sometimes as "desire", "gift" or "prosperous". We could not find a Sanskrit word amīṣā behind any of these. The nearest dictionary word, amiṣa or āmiṣa, means flesh, prey or an object of desire, which is clearly not what families intend, so we treat the popular meanings as modern ones. A well-known bearer is the actor Ameesha Patel.
