Tacha is of Greek origin, derived from the word 'taxiarhes', which means 'archer'. It is predominantly a male given name, though it can also be used for females. Tacha was popularized in ancient Greece and Rome, often associated with characters like Taxillus, a companion of Hercules. In recent times, it has been more commonly used as a nickname or short form of names like Alexander or Achilles.
The name Tacha experienced varying popularity over the years, with peaks in 1971 and 1978, and a notable gap between 1974 and 1976 before resurging in 1977. It then maintained steady but lower popularity until 1993.
