Tarneshia is of African origin, meaning "fire from heaven." It is derived from the combination of the names Tarnecia and Tarshish, both found in the Bible. Tarneshia was a rare name during its early years but has since gained popularity in recent decades. It is considered an attractive option for parents looking for unique and meaningful names for their daughters.
"Tarneshia had peaks in popularity in 1981 and 1987 with six births each year, followed by a high of nine births in 1992, resulting in a total of twenty-one Tarneshias born over these three years."
