Tisha
Tisha Origin and Meaning
Tisha is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. It can function as a diminutive of Patricia or Letitia, but also has independent roots as a Sanskrit name meaning 'auspicious' or 'fortunate.' In Hebrew contexts, it may relate to Tisha B'Av, a significant date in the Jewish calendar. The name gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and early 1980s, partly influenced by actress Tisha Campbell. With its simple two-syllable structure and accessible pronunciation (TEE-sha), the name offers a friendly, approachable quality. Though less common today than in previous decades, Tisha maintains appeal for parents seeking a short, sweet name with cross-cultural connections. Its brevity and feminine sound make it distinctive without being complicated.
