      The first name Tisha has its origins in American culture. Derived from the English language, Tisha is believed to be a modern variant of the name Tish, which itself is a diminutive form of Letitia. Letitia is a Latin name meaning joy or happiness. Therefore, the name Tisha can be interpreted as having a similar meaning joy.

      In terms of historical usage, the name Tisha is relatively new and does not have extensive roots in ancient or medieval times. Its emergence can be attributed to American families seeking a unique and modern name for their children. As a result, Tisha gained popularity in the latter half of the 20th century and continues to be used today.

      In modern-day usage, Tisha remains a popular choice for parents looking for a name that brings a sense of happiness and joy to their child's life. Its simplicity and pleasant connotations make it appealing to many. It is often bestowed upon baby girls but can also be used as a unisex name.
