History & Origin
Tamesha is a made African American name rather than a translated word, part of the fertile family that joined prefixes like Ta-, La- and Ke- to soft -isha and -esha endings. Close to Tamika and Keisha in sound, Tamesha appears in United States records from the late nineteen-sixties.
It reached its high point in 1985 and faded within a couple of decades. Tamesha reads as a distinctly late-century coinage worn by women now in their late thirties and forties, and is not part of any revival.
