Where it comes from

Our story of Tyresha

In the Hebrew alphabet the letter for r is called resh, from an old word for 'head', and in the earliest alphabets it was drawn as a head in profile; the Greek rho and the Latin R descend from it. Tyresha was not built from the letter; it came from the Ty- and -esha pieces of its day. But its middle holds the name of a letter that began as a picture of a head held high.

Fashion outlook

Tyresha sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
