Takisha
Takisha Origin and Meaning
Takisha is a feminine name that emerged in American naming records in the 1970s, reaching its peak popularity in the 1980s. The name appears to be a modern creation, possibly combining the prefix 'Ta-' (found in names like Tamara or Tanya) with the suffix '-kisha,' which may be related to names like Keisha (possibly derived from Keziah, a biblical name meaning 'cassia tree'). The '-isha' ending became a popular name suffix during this period, seen in several contemporaneous names. Takisha represents the innovative naming patterns that developed in the United States during the second half of the 20th century, characterized by distinctive sounds and creative combinations of name elements. While its specific etymology is unclear, the name established itself as part of modern American naming traditions and has continued to be used, though less frequently than during its peak years.
