History & Origin

Timisha is a coined name from the inventive mid-to-late twentieth-century African-American naming tradition, joining a Ti- opening to the widely used -isha ending of names like Latisha and Keisha. It is an original creation valued for its rhythm rather than an inherited dictionary meaning.

Timisha was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1993, and it stayed rare on either side. A girl named Timisha then is in her early thirties today.

Did you know? The -isha ending Timisha shares with Latisha, Keisha and Tamisha was one of the most creative and productive sounds in late twentieth-century American naming.
