History & Origin
Tihesha is a modern American coinage rather than an inherited name, joining a Ti- prefix to a -hesha ending shared with Keisha and Aisha. Names of this shape spread through African-American families in the later twentieth century, and the exact build is uncertain, which we note instead of inventing a root.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its brief peak in the late nineteen-seventies. A woman named Tihesha then is now in her forties.
