History & Origin

Taysha is best read as an elaboration of Tasha, the short form of Natasha - the Russian pet form of Natalia, from Latin natalis, 'birthday'. The 'ay' spelling is a modern brightening of the sound.

It stayed genuinely rare, only a few dozen girls a year around its high near 1992, and reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a traditional name. Its cheerful sound has given it a small following.

Did you know? Tasha, clipped from the Russian Natasha, was popular in the later twentieth century; spellings like Taysha gave it a fresh, sunny vowel.
