Tisa — girls' name

What the Data Says About Tisa

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,447 babies named Tisa between 1948 and 2021, spanning 74 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Tisa currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 1970, when 144 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Tisa performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 631 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Tisa shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 104 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Tisa in 16 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Tisa 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 1,447 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
