Takiesha is a unique and distinctive given name of African American origin, derived from the Swahili word 'takishi', which means 'to give'. This name has been popular among African American communities since the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon outside these circles. It's often associated with strength, resilience, and independence due to its powerful meaning. Takiesha is typically pronounced /tuh-KEE-shuh/ in English, with the stress on the second syllable.
"The name Takiesha peaked in popularity during the late 70s to early 80s, with a significant number of babies named Takiesha born between 1977 and 1984."
