Tikisha is of African origin, meaning 'a star'. It gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century and has since been used as a unique alternative to more traditional names.
"The name Tikisha saw a significant increase in usage between 1973 and 1977, with the highest number of births occurring in 1977 (37). However, it experienced a decline afterward, with only 5 births each year from 1986 to 1990."
