Thinking about the name
Trish
English origin
“A colloquial short form of Trisha, often used as a nickname but functioning as an independent name in its own right. Trish is straightforward, friendly, and unpretentious, with a casual 1970s-80s charm. The name feels accessible and down-to-earth while maintaining a distinctly feminine quality.”
