Taesha is a modern first name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1973, a time when creative coinages with fashionable suffixes were rising. While it reached its peak in 1996, the name has remained stable in usage since then. Despite never breaking into the top 1,000 nationally, Taesha holds a distinctive place among names of its style, often chosen for its melodic sound and cultural resonance within African American communities.

Taesha first appeared in U.S. records in 1973.
