MEANING & HISTORY

What does Trisha mean?

Trisha is a familiar form of Patricia whose spelling reflects the English sh sound. Patricia belongs to the Latin Patricius family, referring to patrician or noble status.

The extra h is a spelling convention, not another ancient component. Trisha and Tricia share a documented formation while remaining different exact written names.
