Meaning: Tanaysia is a modern American name joining the Ta- prefix, common in late twentieth century African American girls' names, to a flowing -naysia ending in the family of Tanaya, Tanesha and Anaisia.

History & Origin
Tanaysia comes from the invented, prefix-plus-sound tradition of African American naming, not an old root. Ta- opens it and -naysia gives a soft, rolling close shared with Tanaya and Anaisia. We flag the coinage plainly rather than assigning a false ancient meaning.
Tanaysia appeared only in the two-thousands, in small numbers, one of many Ta- coinages of the moment. A girl named Tanaysia at its peak would be in her late teens today, marking it a recent name.
