Keesha

Keesha Origin and Meaning

The name Keesha is a girl's name.

Keesha is a feminine name that emerged in American usage during the 1960s, gaining moderate popularity through the 1970s and 1980s. The name may have developed as a creative variation of names like Keisha or as a diminutive form of names beginning with the 'K' sound. Linguistically, Keesha might be related to names with Irish elements (where 'K' names are common) or could be a modern invented name following phonetic patterns popular in late 20th century American naming conventions. The name saw its peak usage in the late 1970s, appearing on the U.S. Social Security Administration's name charts during this period before gradually declining in frequency. Today, Keesha remains recognized but is less commonly given to newborns compared to its peak years of popularity.
