Tyresha is a unique, modern name of American origin. It emerged during the mid-20th century and gained popularity in the latter half of the century. The name's meaning is derived from its components: 'Tyre' which is of Irish origin, meaning 'warlike', and 'Shea' which is of Irish descent as well, translating to 'hale or healthy'. Thus, Tyresha literally means 'healthy warrior'. This combination gives the name a strong yet gentle ring, making it appealing for those who appreciate uncommon names with deep meanings.
The name Tyresha appears to have been quite popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a significant increase in births starting from 1988 (20 births) up until 1993 (49 births).
