I would assume a Riyanka is [name_f]Indian[/name_f] or Hindu, but only because it reminds me of Priyanka Chopra. I would also assume Risha is [name_f]Indian[/name_f] or Hindu because it reminds me of Rishan, a Hindu name. I draw a blank when it comes to guessing Katrisha, part of me feels like it falls in the category with the trend of sticking -isha on the ends of names, but then part of me thinks [name_f]Indian[/name_f] or Hindu again. Definitely not hard to spell and pronounce them either, just unfamiliar.

I think Risha can be either girl or boy but Riyanka and Katrisha feel girl to me. I must say, I vastly prefer Priyanka over Riyanka.

  1. Riyanka
    Sounds vaguely [name_f]Indian[/name_f] to me. Definitely feminine. This would be easy to spell.
  2. Risha
    [name_f]Indian[/name_f]/Hindu. For some reason this one feels more spiritual. Girl name. Easy to spell.
  3. Katrisha
    Girl’s name. Sounds almost made-up. I don’t like the sound- it sounds like treason/trash/screech. Nothing comes to mind. Pretty easy to spell.

All three sound clearly girl to me and I think they are all very pretty but Risha and Katrisha are my favorites.

Riyanka is not a familiar name to me and I might have guessed Eastern European at first, but not sure. I would say ree-[name_m]YON[/name_m]-kah. I like this one the least because the “yank” word in the middle stands out to me.

Risha is beautiful and easy to spell, although I could see some pronunciation confusion being between RISH-ah and REESH-ah. I would guess [name_f]Indian[/name_f]/Hindu as pp said.

Katrisha I would either guess [name_f]Indian[/name_f]/Hindu or modern American invention as pp said, however I think this name is pretty as I feel the -isha sound is melodic and feminine. This name is also easy to spell like Risha.

Riyanka - the -anka ending gives me an Eastern Europe vibe. To me it seems to be a combination of [name_f]Rianne[/name_f] and [name_f]Bianca[/name_f]. It sounds rather harsh to me.

Risha - Risyah? I wonder about the pronunciation. Sounds [name_f]Asian[/name_f] to me.

Katrisha - reminds me of a make up brand I’ve seen in [name_m]German[/name_m] stores, [name_f]Catrice[/name_f]. It seems like another combination name, [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]/[name_f]Trisha[/name_f].
