Tysha Origin and Meaning

The name Tysha is a girl's name.

Tysha is a feminine name with a modern sound that appears to be a variation of names like Tysha or Tasha. The name Tasha is a diminutive of Natasha, which originated as a Russian pet form of Natalia, meaning 'birthday' or 'Christmas Day' (from Latin 'natale domini'). The 'Ty-' prefix variation creates a distinctive alternative with the same melodic ending. Tysha emerged in naming records in the United States primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with trends favoring shorter, distinctive names with clear pronunciations. While never extremely common, the name has maintained a consistent presence in naming data. Tysha exemplifies the trend toward creating variations of familiar names by altering initial consonants while preserving recognized endings. Its concise form and balanced syllables contribute to its phonetic appeal.
