How to Pronounce Tanaisha
Pronounced tuh-NAY-shuh /təˈneɪ.ʃə/Medium
Meaning: Tanaisha elaborates Tanisha, a signature nineteen-seventies coinage, by stretching it toward the Aisha sound. Its warmth comes from that flowing shape rather than a separate literal meaning, though Tanisha is sometimes linked to a Hausa word for 'born on Monday.'Low

History & Origin
Tanaisha is a modern American coinage that lengthens Tanisha, a hugely popular nineteen-seventies name sometimes connected to the Hausa word for 'born on Monday,' by folding in the Aisha sound. It belongs to the inventive naming of that decade and 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 Tanaisha then would be in her thirties today. It reads as an elaboration of Tanisha rather than a name with its own revival.
