Tanysha

Your days of baby-naming indecision will surely end when the feminine name Tanysha enters the equation. A respelling of Tanisha, Tanysha could simply be a modern American invention, with the prefix Tan- and the suffix -ysha joining together in a beautiful fusion. American actress Ta-Tanisha may have been one of the world's first Tanishas. Though born Shirley Cummings, Ta-Tanisha was the actress's stage name, possibly chosen because of its similarity to the Swahili phrase tatanisha. Meaning "confuse," "puzzle," or "tangle," tatanisha could encourage your Tanysha to keep people guessing as to what they'll do next! This moniker also sounds very similar to taniṣṭha, a Sanskrit word that translates to "smallest" or "least." Though they might be a tiny tot, make no mistake, sweet Tanysha's impact on those around them will be very big.
