Meaning & origin

Tyesha was first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1970, a time when creative names with the -esha ending were gaining traction. It reached its highest popularity in 1991, when it ranked 2,256 and was given to about 110 baby girls. Since that peak year, the name has steadily fallen in use, reflecting shifting tastes away from the -esha suffix. While no top states are recorded for Tyesha, it saw most usage in states with diverse naming traditions. The name remains a distinctive choice that captures the inventive spirit of late 20th-century American naming.

Tyesha first appeared in U.S. birth records in the 1970s, a period when many invented names with the -esha suffix became popular. It likely blends the initial element Ty (as in Tyler or Tyron) with the fashionable suffix -esha, seen in names like Aisha and Keisha. The name saw peak usage in 1991 and has since declined.
