Tarlisha is of African origin, specifically from the Ewe people of Ghana and Togo. It translates to "bringer of beauty" or "beauty has arrived". The name is composed of two elements: 'tɛ' meaning child or children, and 'lašiva', which signifies beauty or adornment. Tarlisha was traditionally given to girls born after a period of time without any births in the family, symbolizing the arrival of a new era of prosperity and grace. Today, it is used globally as a unique and meaningful choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet significant name for their daughter.
Tarlisha was quite popular as a baby girl name in the late 1970s, with five babies named Tarlisha in 1976 and another six in 1979, totaling eleven little girls bearing this unique name during those years.
