Meaning & origin
Tamisha is a modern American invention that emerged in the late 1960s, first recorded in Social Security data in 1968. The name experienced a brief surge in popularity, peaking in 1974, but has been on a steady decline since 1985. Its creation fits a broader trend of the era, where parents combined familiar sounds and syllables to form distinctive names for girls. Despite its rarity today, Tamisha carries a distinctly late-20th-century American flavor.
Tamisha first appeared in the United States in the 1960s, part of a wave of invented names ending in -isha or -esha inspired by names like Aisha and Tameka. It peaked in the 1970s and has since declined in use. The name is primarily used for girls and is almost exclusively American.
