The history of the first name Tylaisha

It appears to be a combination of the English names Tyler and Laisha, with the latter being a variant of the Arabic name Layla or Leila, meaning "night" or "dark beauty." The prefix "Ty" could be derived from the Old English word "tye," meaning "to bind or tie."
