Tishara
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 176 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Tishara peaked during the Gen X years, when 17 babies received this name in a single year (1972). That era was defined by post-traditional, counterculture-influenced naming, and Tishara has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Tishara is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Tishara is a girl's baby name of American origin, a creative elaboration combining the Ti- prefix with -shara — possibly echoing Sharon (Hebrew: 'a plain, a fertile place') or the Arabic sha'ra (hair). The Ti- prefix adds an energetic opening to a flowing, three-syllable name.
Tishara has the musical quality of names crafted for rhythm and distinctiveness — the crisp Ti- opening balanced by the flowing -shara ending, creating a name that feels both confident and melodic.
