Meaning & History
While many baby name sites and books list this name as meaning 'meaningful life' or 'god', these are incorrect. These meanings likely originate from the misconception that Saisha (or saiṣā) is another name for the goddess LAKSHMI, from the following line: saiṣā devī sakala-bhuvana-prārthanā-kāmadhenuḥ in a stotra by Ramanuja. Saiṣā in this case however most likely is sā eṣā (according to a Professor of Sanskrit and Linguistics), from the Sanskrit sā "granting, giving, bestowing, she" and eṣā "(a) wish".
