What does the name Tasha mean?
Tasha is a short form of Natasha, says Behind the Name. Natasha is a Russian diminutive of Natalya, which comes from the Latin natalis, “of birth,” used for Christmas Day. Wikipedia notes that Natasha is the heroine’s name in Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace (1865), and that English speakers adopted it only in the 20th century. Behind the Name lists Tasha under both Russian and English usage.
Tasha nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name links Tasha with Natasha, Natalie, Natalia, Natalee and Nat in English. Tash is a further short form. Latasha is an African American elaboration that keeps Tasha inside a longer name.
Some famous Tashas
Tasha Smith, born February 28, 1971, is an American actress and director. Wikipedia says she began with a starring role on the NBC comedy Boston Common (1996 to 1997) and later appeared in films including The Whole Ten Yards, Daddy’s Little Girls, Couples Retreat and Jumping the Broom. She has continued to act and direct across film and television since that early sitcom break.
Tasha through the decades
Tasha is a 1980s name. US Social Security data has it at 171st in the 1980s, when more than 16,200 girls were named Tasha. Behind the Name last ranked it 769th in the US in 1997 and 976th in England and Wales in 2006. Like many nickname-names of the 1980s, it later faded as parents returned to Natalie and Natasha.
Did you know?
Natasha entered English through Tolstoy. Behind the Name says the Russian diminutive was used for a character in War and Peace (1865), and that the English-speaking world took up Natasha, and then Tasha, only in the 20th century. Because Natalya is tied to Christmas Day in Latin, Tasha sits a short step away from a Christmas name.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Tasha is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Tasha on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
