History & Origin
Tasheena is a modern coinage, joining the Ta- prefix so popular in its era to Sheena. Sheena is an anglicized spelling of the Scottish Gaelic Sìne, a form of Jane, from Hebrew for 'God is gracious'. Through that link Tasheena carries a genuine underlying meaning, wrapped in a distinctly late-century sound.
Tasheena crested in the mid-1980s and stayed uncommon, fading by the 2010s. A girl named Tasheena then is now in her late thirties. It reads as a coinage of its decade; Sheena and Tashina carried the sound too, and Tasheena has not separately revived.
