Meaning & origin
Tikesha is a modern American coinage that emerged in the 1970s, with its first recorded birth in 1974. The name never entered widespread use; its peak year was also 1974, suggesting a one-time creation that did not sustain popularity. As a highly rare name, Tikesha reflects the creative naming trends of the late 20th century, where prefixes like Ti- and suffixes like -kesha were combined to form unique feminine names. Due to its rarity, no top states are recorded, and it has remained a distinctive choice.
Tikesha first appeared in the United States in the 1970s. It is a modern coinage likely formed from name elements common in that era: the 'Ti-' prefix also seen in Tiana and Tisha, and the '-kesha' suffix from Keisha. The name has remained relatively rare, with its peak usage in 1974.
