Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Tarsha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 200 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and North Carolina. In total, SSA state-level files list Tarsha in 19 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Tarsha in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 2,375 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
