History & Origin

Taiasha is an invented name of the nineteen-seventies, pairing a lively Tai- start with the soft -asha close found in Asha and Natasha. That ending carries hints of 'life' and 'hope' from Asha, though the full name is a coinage shaped mainly for its rhythm.

It appeared for a couple of years in the later nineteen-seventies, given to about twenty girls a year, then faded. A girl named Taiasha then is in her late forties today.

Did you know? Taiasha's -asha ending nods to Asha, a name meaning 'life' in Swahili and 'hope' in Sanskrit, giving the coinage a gentle borrowed warmth.
