Tarnesha
Meaning of Tarnesha
Tarnesha—tar-NEE-shuh—pops off the tongue like a dhol drum at an Indian wedding. Many parents see it as a lively twist on Tanisha, the Sanskrit word for ambition and queenly spirit, while the opening “Tar” echoes tara, the Hindi star, so the name quietly shouts, “Shine high, dream big!” She slipped onto U.S. charts in the mid-70s, danced around the lower ranks through the ’90s, and stayed rare enough to feel special. The sound is warm and playful; you can almost picture marigold petals swirling and hear a happy laugh in the background. Tarnesha turns an ordinary afternoon into a tiny festival, reminding everyone that one bright spark can color the whole sky.
