Ternisha, derived from Latin origins, means 'third' and is often associated with the number three. This unique name was popularized by its use in African American culture during the 1970s and 1980s, though it remains uncommon today. The name Ternisha consists of two syllables and carries a soft, melodic sound, making it both distinctive and appealing.
Ternisha experienced a notable increase in popularity between 1986 and 1994, with birth numbers more than doubling from 6 to 12 during this period. However, the name's usage seems quite uncommon overall, as indicated by the total of only 28 births over these years.
