Tarisha is a modern feminine given name with several plausible sources. In African-American naming, it reads as a creative blend of the element Tari with the -sha ending popular since the 1970s; Tari connects to Arabic ṭarī, meaning “fresh” or “new.” The name is also viewed as an embellished form of Trisha - either the English nickname of Patricia (from Latin patricius, “noble”) or the South Asian name Trisha, from Sanskrit triṣā, “desire” or “thirst.” These strands allow Tarisha to carry senses of freshness, nobility, or aspiration.

Usage is documented in the United States from the late twentieth century, with occasional appearance in the Caribbean and among the South Asian diaspora. Spellings and variants include Tareesha, Tareshia, Tarysha, and Terisha; related names are Tari and Trisha. Common nicknames are Tari and Risha.
