talesha is English in Origin.

Talesha is a modern English given name, most commonly viewed as a creative variant of Talisha/Latisha, names that trace back to Latin Laetitia, “joy, gladness.” Its form also reflects late-20th-century blends with Talia (Hebrew, “dew of God”) and the popular -isha ending familiar from Aisha. Spelling variants include Taliesha, Taleisha, Taleesha, Taleshia, and Talisha; short forms such as Tali, Leesha, or Lisha occur.

The name gained circulation in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly within African-American communities, and later appeared in Australia and New Zealand via the Taleisha/Taleesha spellings. With multiple streams of inspiration, its meaning is most often interpreted as “joy,” while some families connect it to Talia’s “dew from God” or, more loosely, to Talitha, an Aramaic term meaning “little girl.” Talesha remains distinctive and relatively uncommon, offering a melodic, contemporary alternative to Leticia, Latisha, and Talia.
