Tanisha by the numbers
In 2025, 12 babies in England and Wales were named Tanisha. In the US, 39 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 758 babies in 1982, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
