Meaning & origin
Tashana is a modern American name that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security Administration's records in 1971, reflecting a trend of inventing new feminine names by blending familiar sounds. Its peak year was 1977, after which its use declined and stabilized at very low levels. The name has never ranked among the top 1000 and currently has an estimated 1-in-N incidence too small to report. Tashana's top states of usage are not recorded, indicating distribution was never regionally concentrated. The name is a product of the baby naming creativity of the 1970s, an era that saw many similar coinages such as Latoya and Tameka.
Tashana first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1971 and peaked in 1977. It is likely a modern invented name, formed by blending elements from names like Tasha (a short form of Natasha) and the popular -shawna/-shana suffix. No traditional linguistic root or pre-existing cultural meaning has been identified.
