Tesha — girls' name

What the Data Says About Tesha

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,804 babies named Tesha between 1963 and 2007, spanning 45 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Tesha currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2007. The name reached its historical peak in 1978, when 95 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Tesha performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 768 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Tesha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 93 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Tesha in 16 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Tesha 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 1,804 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
