History & Origin

Tashana builds on Tasha, the warm short form of Natasha, which traces through Russian to the Latin natalis, 'birthday' — historically the Nativity. American parents in the nineteen-seventies and eighties liked stretching such short forms into fuller, more ornate names.

It crested modestly in the early nineteen-eighties and stayed scarce, fading again within a generation. A Tashana today is likely a woman in her forties, and the name remains firmly of its era rather than part of any revival.

Did you know? Tashana belongs to the family of elaborated Tasha names that dotted the record around the early nineteen-eighties, never chosen for more than a few dozen girls in any year.
