Taisha
Taisha Origin and Meaning
Taisha is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant of Tasha (diminutive of Russian Natasha, ultimately from Natalia meaning 'birthday of the Lord') or could combine the prefix 'Ta-' with 'Isha' (a name with Sanskrit roots meaning 'ruler' or 'protector'). Another possibility is that it derives from Aisha/Ayesha (Arabic name meaning 'living, prosperous') with a 'T' prefix. Taisha gained notable usage in the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s, with its peak popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The name has a melodious quality and continues to be used, though less frequently than during its peak period. Taisha represents the trend toward creating distinctive names through creative phonetic combinations or variations of established names.
