Tiesha dances off the tongue like sunrise over a Caribbean shore—bright, warm and full of promise. This modern American name traces its spark back to the Latin Lætitia, meaning “joy” or “gladness,” and carries that upbeat spirit wherever she goes. In the late ’80s and early ’90s, little Tieshas popped up in Ohio charts—always rare enough to feel special, yet popular enough to bring smiles at the playground. She’s the friend who turns ordinary moments into celebrations, the cousin whose laughter feels like music. With every Tiesha, parents embrace a name that’s simple to say, easy to love and wrapped in the kind of happiness that lasts a lifetime.
