Tashay is English in Origin.

Tashay (usually pronounced tah-SHAY) is a modern American given name, noted in African‑American use since the late twentieth century. It likely arose by adding the melodic -ay to Tasha or by blending the prefix Ta- with Shay. Tasha is the diminutive of Natasha, the Russian pet form of Natalia (from Latin dies natalis, “birthday,” often linked to Christmas), while Shay may derive from Hebrew Shai/Šay “gift” or from the Irish surname Shea, Gaelic Séaghdha “stately, learned”.

As a result, Tashay carries layered readings: “birthday/Christmas child,” “gift,” or “stately.” Variants include Tashae, Tashaé, Ta’Shay, TaShay, and Tashai; related names are Tasha, Natasha, Natalia, Shay, Shea, and Shai. Though rare in data, it saw visibility in 1990s–2000s U.S. naming and continues to appeal for its upbeat, two‑syllable rhythm and blended roots.
