History & Origin
Taiesha is a modern American coinage that adds a Ta- opening to Iesha, a spelling of Aisha, the Arabic name meaning 'alive' or 'living.' As Arabic names and inventive spellings spread among Black American families in the nineteen-seventies, names like Taiesha flourished. It appears on United States birth records from the mid-nineteen-seventies.
It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high in the early nineteen-nineties, so a girl named Taiesha then would be in her thirties today. It reads as a coinage of its era rather than a revival.
