Our story of Tashika
Tasha came into American use as the short form of Natasha, itself the Russian pet form of Natalia, and once it was a name in its own right it began to grow new endings. With -ka it became Tashika, a name that keeps Tasha's warmth and adds a quick, clipped finish. It is a name built from sound and affection rather than from any dictionary, and it is complete in itself.
