History & Origin

Tyesha is a modern coinage joining the Ty- prefix to the -esha ending drawn from Aisha. Part of a large, creative family of invented -esha names, it flowered in the eighties and reached its high point in the early nineties.

Tyesha crested in 1991 and has receded since, so a woman with the name is usually in her thirties. It reads as a name of that inventive era.
