📜 Tasha Through the Generations
Tasha had a pretty focused moment in the spotlight. Nearly all of its 35,621 all-time US births happened in a tight window, and that shows clearly in the age spread today. A striking 94% of living Tashas are between 30 and 60, with an average age of 43, meaning the name was essentially a product of the 1970s and 1980s. The peak in 1980 alone saw 2,277 births, which is a big single-year punch for a name this size. Only 1,914 Tashas, just 5%, are under 30, which tells you parents largely stopped reaching for this one after the 80s boom faded. The trend is declining, and with so few young bearers coming through, that's unlikely to reverse soon. The gap between all-time births and living population is actually quite small, which makes sense given how recently most Tashas were born.
