Combination of prefix Ta- and the name Shonna
Tashonna is a modern American invented name, likely created by combining the popular rhythmic prefix 'Ta-' with Shonna, a phonetic variant of the Irish name Seána. As a derivative of Seána, it ultimately traces back to the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious'. It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a broader trend of creative naming within African American communities.
