History & Origin

Tayshun is a coined name of the two-thousands, built on the Tay- prefix and a -shun ending that recalls Dayshawn and Rayshawn. Names of this kind have no classical meaning; they were created for their upbeat, contemporary rhythm. Tayshun appeared lightly and stayed a rare, of-the-moment choice.

Tayshun was scarce, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak in the middle two-thousands, and it did not spread. A boy named Tayshun then would be a young adult today.

Did you know? Tayshun belongs to the inventive Tay- and Ray- names of the two-thousands, in which a bright opening was matched to a -shawn or -shun ending to make a fresh boy's name.
