Meaning & origin

Tishie is a rare American given name that first appeared in 1880, the earliest year of Social Security data, when it ranked 8356 with just 5 births. Its peak year was also 1880, after which usage remained sporadic. The trajectory has been stable, meaning it has never seen a significant surge. The name does not appear in any top states data, confirming its extremely niche usage. As a diminutive-style name, Tishie fits alongside other late 19th-century pet forms. Its obscurity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a vintage name that has never been widely used.
