Alive or she who lives
Taisha is a modern name often considered a blend of the Arabic name Aisha, meaning 'alive' or 'prosperous,' and the popular prefix 'Ta-'. It gained some popularity in the late 20th century as part of a trend of creating rhythmic, feminine names within African American communities.
