Meaning today
Beloved, god's gift
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Prisha (प्रिशा) is a modern Indian girls' name whose origin is hard to pin down. Baby-name lists usually give it as "beloved" or "God's gift", and some connect it with the goddess Lakshmi. We looked for priśā in Monier-Williams, the standard Sanskrit dictionary, and it has no such word, and we could not trace either popular meaning to any other dictionary. The meanings seem to have grown up around the name in recent years rather than coming from an older word, so we leave the origin open. The name is short, sounds the same in most Indian languages and is easy to spell in English.
