History & Origin

Tashena is an original coinage rather than an inherited name, formed from the popular Ta- prefix and a soft -shena close. It reflects the inventive girl-naming of its decade, in which admired sounds were combined fresh for each daughter.

It stayed at the edge of the record, a couple dozen girls a year around 1986, and faded by the two-thousands. A Tashena from then is in her late thirties now, the name a small keepsake of mid-eighties style.

Did you know? Tashena sits beside Tashina and Sheena, near-neighbours in sound that share its gentle ending.
