Tyeshia
Meaning of Tyeshia
Tyeshia is a feminine given name that exemplifies contemporary Anglo-American lexical innovation, deriving from a morphological synthesis in which the English-language prefix Ty-—a productive element in late twentieth-century American naming conventions—conjoins with the suffix -eshia, itself a phonological adaptation of the Arabic Aisha, whose semantic core signifies “life” or “living.” Pronounced ty-EE-shuh (/taɪˈiːʃə/), the name conforms to American phonotactic norms while evoking notions of vitality and resilience. Longitudinal data from the U.S. Social Security Administration trace its initial entry in 1972, charting a gradual ascent to an apex rank of 781 in 1991, with 76 recorded instances, and a subsequent attenuation into the early 2000s. As such, Tyeshia functions as a marker of cultural identity within African-American communities and maintains an enduring, if specialized, presence in the broader Anglo-American onomastic corpus.
