About the name Trisha
Trisha's Sanskrit root means thirst, which in philosophical texts is craving and in ordinary speech is simply wanting something badly. English speakers usually assume it is a clipped Patricia, so the name lives a completely double life on either side of the Atlantic.
Trisha is a girl name of Tamil origin, pronounced TREE-shah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 55 out of 100, which places it in the uncommon band — familiar to everyone, yet rarely duplicated in the same room. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
