Tishay is of Hebrew origin and means 'my joy'. It's a unisex name, used for both boys and girls. In the Bible, Tishay was one of the sons of King David. The name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States, where it's often used as a unique alternative to more traditional names like Jessica or Joshua. Despite its biblical roots, Tishay is not specifically tied to any particular religion and can be given regardless of faith background. It's pronounced ti-SHAY, with the stress on the first syllable. As for popularity, while it's not one of the most common names, it's also not extremely rare, making it a distinctive yet not overly unusual choice.
"Tishay is quite rare as a baby name, with only five newborns given this name annually in 1991."
