Tanisha is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Tanisha is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Tanisha. In the SmartGenius ranking, Tanisha is #3,295 on the list of most common girls names. In the entire USA, approximately 17,164 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Tanisha. That is 0.01 % of all living Americans.
Tanisha is a phenomenon of Generation X and Y. Previously, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Schoolkids of the early 20th century probably didn't have classmates named Tanisha - until this very name unexpectedly cried out for attention and peaked in popularity at rank number 311 in 1977. Although it has never reached the top 100 list, this girls' name seems to have been in vogue for a while, which makes Tanisha really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Tanisha was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter T is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. Because: 6.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for girls’ names are A, S and M.
With seven letters, the name Tanisha has a typical length for first names in the US.

With 6.3% of all girls' names that begin with a T, this first letter is thus much more common than all 26 letters on average - and the most popular one of all the girls’ names starting with T is Teresa.

Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
