Tinisha
Meaning of Tinisha
Tinisha is a feminine appellation that originated in the United States during the latter decades of the 20th century as an orthographic and phonetic variant of Tanisha, pronounced /təˈniːʃə/ in American English, which is itself traced to the Sanskrit tāniṣā, denoting “ambition” or “desire”; it exemplifies the morphological pattern in Anglo-American naming conventions whereby the suffix -isha is appended to root elements to generate novel lexemes. According to New York State Social Security Administration data, recorded instances of Tinisha between 1975 and 1982 were sporadic yet measurable—annual frequencies spanning five to nine births and rank positions fluctuating between 233 and 242—indicating a modest level of localized adoption within specific demographic cohorts and underscoring the interplay between cultural innovation and naming diffusion in urban contexts.
