History & Origin

Taisiya is the Russian and Ukrainian form of the Greek Thais, carried by Saint Thais of Egypt and known in the Orthodox calendar. The meaning of the Greek original is genuinely unsettled — proposals range from 'bandage' to 'belonging to Isis' — which we note. In Russia it is an old-fashioned name enjoying a quiet revival (said 'tah-EE-see-yuh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Very rare, Slavic, and saint-linked.
