Tashia
Meaning of Tashia
Tashia is a feminine given name that emerged as an Anglicized elaboration of Tasha, itself a diminutive of the Slavic name Natalia (from Latin natalis, “birth”). The addition of the –ia suffix imparts a classical resonance, resulting in the pronunciation TASH-ee-uh (/ˈtæʃiə/). Culturally situated within the Anglo-American tradition, Tashia balances the approachable warmth of a familiar diminutive with a subtle sense of refinement. Analysis of Ohio birth records from 1966 to 1990 demonstrates its modest but sustained use: first recorded in 1966 with five occurrences (rank 220) and peaking in the mid-1980s—nine newborns in 1985 (rank 179)—before stabilizing at lower frequencies. Though never a top contender on popularity charts, Tashia’s steady presence suggests an enduring appeal for parents seeking a name that combines friendly familiarity with a distinctive classical flair.
