History & Origin

Tameisha is an original coinage rather than an inherited name, formed from the popular Ta- prefix and a -meisha ending shared with names like Tamisha. It belongs to a naming style that prized fresh, personal sounds over handed-down meanings.

It stayed at the edge of the record, a couple dozen girls a year around 1990, and faded within two decades. A Tameisha from then is in her thirties now, the name a neat sample of the era's invention.

Did you know? Tameisha's -meisha ending links it to a set of contemporaries, Tamisha, Lameisha, Kameisha, all built from the same fashionable pieces.
