Taniesha is a girl’s name of Sanskrit origin that’ll have baby beaming from the inside out. Taken from the “T” name Tanish, meaning “ambition,” Taniesha might be all it takes for your tiny tot to find purpose. Taniesha is also said to be taken from the Hausa name Tani, which means “born on a Monday.” So if your little one makes their arrival on an early Monday morning, a moonlit Monday evening, or somewhere in between, Taniesha ticks all the boxes!
