History & Origin

Tashanna is an original coinage rather than an inherited name, formed from the popular Ta- prefix and the name Shanna. Shanna lends a soft, familiar close, while the Ta- opening marks the name as a product of its African American naming moment.

It never left the margins of the record, a couple dozen girls a year around 1979, fading by the two-thousands. A Tashanna from then is in her forties now, the name a small keepsake of late-seventies invention.

Did you know? Tashanna reads as Shanna given the Ta- opening that generated so many girl names of its decade.
