Tannisha is an enchanting, unique feminine given name of African American origin. It is a variant spelling of Tanisha, which itself is derived from the Hindu female name 'Tanushree', meaning "compassion". This name offers a delightful blend of cultural diversity and possesses a charming alliteration with the letter 'T'. Tannisha has been popular in the United States since the 1970s but remains less common than its variant, Tanisha.
