History & Origin

Tausha is a sound-it-out spelling of Tasha, the short form of Natasha, itself the Russian diminutive of Natalia, from Latin natalis, 'birthday', linked to the Nativity. As Russian-flavored names like Natasha and Tanya spread in later twentieth-century America, phonetic forms such as Tausha appeared, showing in United States records from the nineteen-sixties.

Tausha reached its high point in 1975 and eased off afterward, reading now as a name of the seventies worn by women in their forties and fifties. It has stayed a period spelling rather than reviving; its spelling is best sounded out by the respelling here.

Did you know? Tausha traces all the way back to the Latin natalis, 'birthday' — the same root as Natalie and Noel — carried west through the Russian Natasha and its short form Tasha.
