A name that means "thirst, desire; noblewoman".

Trisha has two parallel origins. In Sanskrit, tṛṣṇā (तृष्णा) means "thirst" or "desire" — a deeply philosophical word in Buddhist and Hindu thought, representing the craving that perpetuates suffering. In English, Trisha is also the diminutive of Patricia — from the Latin patricius, meaning "noblewoman."

Trisha entered the U.S. In India, the South Indian actress Trisha Krishnan is a major star. Today the name sits in the U.S. top 800.

Where Trisha stands.

Trisha does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
