History & Origin

Tahesha is a coined American girl's name assembled from the Ta- prefix and an -esha ending. It stayed rare throughout, touching a small high around 1977.

Given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak, it faded by the early nineteen-nineties. A girl named Tahesha at that high would be in her late forties today. The name reads as a creative, personal choice of its decade.

Did you know? The -esha ending links Tahesha to a whole family of names like Keisha, Latesha, and Tanesha, a hallmark of late twentieth-century African American naming built from shared, musical parts.
