Tishonda is a modern American given name most common in African-American communities, formed by blending Tisha with Shonda or by attaching the productive prefix Ti-/T'- to Shonda. Tisha functions as a short form of Letitia or Patricia, while Shonda is a variant of Shaunda/Shauna, themselves feminine forms associated with Sean/John. The name rose with creative blend names in the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s and remains uncommon in broader usage today.
