Tyshonda is an uncommon female given name of American origin, derived from two separate names combined into one. The name Tyshonda was popularized during the late 20th century, particularly in African American communities. It is a blend of Ty (short for Tyrone) and Mona. Thus, the name Tyshonda essentially translates to "Tyrone's Mona." Despite its unique combination, there are no specific meanings or associations attached to the name Tyshonda itself beyond this origin story. The name is often spelled with a 'y' at the end, but variations such as Tyeshauna, Teshonda, and Tylanda also exist. As of recent data, it remains relatively rare, making up less than 0.01% of all female names in the United States.
The name Tyshonda saw a peak in popularity during the early to mid-1990s with five births each year between 1992 and 1993, before declining to six births in 1996. Overall, there were a total of twenty-seven babies named Tyshonda born across these years.
