History & Origin
Tekisha comes from the same nineteen-seventies wave that produced Takisha, Tikisha, and Lakisha β the prefix-plus-Keisha pattern that gave African-American naming a rich set of coined first names. Its meaning lies in that shared musical shape rather than in a fixed root.
It was never common, cresting around 1978 and slipping from the record within about fifteen years. A Tekisha today would be in her mid-forties, and the name is a clear marker of its decade.
