Created name, possibly meaning born on Monday or fairy queen
Taneisha is an American-invented name that gained popularity in the late 20th century. It is often considered a combination of the prefix 'Ta-' with the name Neisha, which may derive from the Middle English 'Nisha' (night) or the Russian 'Aisha'.
