Taneysha is of African origin, meaning 'miracle' or 'answer to prayer'. It is derived from Tanesha, which itself comes from the Yoruba name Oluwatanisha, combining the elements Oluwa ('Lord') and Taniasha ('answered prayer'). The name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century. Spelling variations include Tanaysha, Tanaysia, and Tanishia.
