History & Origin

Tiesha belongs to a wave of invented -iesha names that echoed the popularity of Aisha and Keisha. Rather than descending from an older word, it was assembled for its bright, three-beat sound, which is how many of the era's most distinctive girls' names came to be.

A girl named Tiesha at its 1991 high is now in her thirties. The name is firmly of its moment -- a warm, melodic coinage that reads as early-nineties rather than reviving, and it pairs naturally with sisters like Keisha or Alisha.

Did you know? Names ending in -iesha and -eesha flourished in Black American communities through the eighties and into the nineties; Tiesha rode that trend to its peak in 1991.
