Meaning & origin

Tylisha is a modern American name that first appeared in the Social Security Administration's records in 1972. It belongs to a category of invented names that blend a starting syllable with a fashionable ending, in this case combining 'Ty' with the '-lisha' suffix found in names like Alicia and Tisha. The name reached its highest point of use in 1993, when it saw its peak in recorded births, though it has never been common enough to enter the top 1000 names. Its trajectory in recent decades has been stable at very low frequency, and no single state has shown a concentration of usage. Despite its rarity, Tylisha fits a recognizable pattern that parents may find modern and distinctive.

Tylisha is a modern American coinage that first appeared in the early 1970s. It follows a pattern of names formed by prefixing 'Ty-' to a suffix derived from names like Alicia or Felicia. The name saw modest use in the United States during the 1990s, peaking in popularity in 1993, but has remained relatively rare.
