Taquasha is an intriguing and unique first name of African American origin. It was created during the mid-20th century as a blend of two popular names at that time, Tawanda (meaning "loved" in Shona) and Quesha, which is derived from Quashanna, a name of Native American heritage meaning "to flow like water". This union of distinct cultural influences results in Taquasha being a name that stands out, embodying a blend of strength, fluidity, and love.
"Taquasha saw a notable rise in popularity from 1991 to 1993, with 12 and 9 births respectively. After a slight dip in 1994, it maintained a steady presence until 1999, totaling 45 births over the eight-year span."
