Re: Orgin of Tanisha
The typical English-language baby name sites - with all their reliability problems as already discussed on this board - give a meaning of "born on a Monday" for Tanisha, with the language of the African people of the Hausa as origin.Well, when I tried to verify that, I found that "Monday" in Hausa means "litinin".Now, how probable is that "born on a Monday" (instead of simply "Monday") gives us something in Hausa that English people change/simplify to "Tanisha"?I don't know, I must confess.Rene
