History & Origin

Tashira is a coined American girls' name blending a Ta- opening with a -shira ending. Some families connect the ending to the Hebrew shira, 'song'; otherwise its charm is its soft three-beat sound, in the inventive style of its era.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year from the early nineteen-seventies into the two-thousands. A girl named Tashira at its high point would be in her forties now.
