Meaning & origin
Timesha is a modern American invention that first appeared in birth records in 1971, part of a wave of creative -esha names that flourished in the late 20th century. The name has never ranked in the top 1000, and its peak year was 1998, when its 1-in-N figure was roughly 100,000. Since then, its trajectory has been stable, with a handful of births each year. Timesha remains rare, reflecting the inventive spirit of African American naming traditions, and is predominantly given to girls. No top states have recorded notable concentrations, underscoring its scattered but persistent use.
Timesha first appeared in the United States in the early 1970s, during a period when many invented names using the -esha suffix (e.g., Tanesha, Lakisha) were coined, often influenced by African American naming traditions. It may blend sounds from names like Tia or Tina with the fashionable ending. The name has never entered the top 1000 in popularity, remaining a rare and distinctive choice.
