History & Origin
Katesha is a coined girl's name pairing the prefix Ka- with the -tesha close heard in Latisha and Kenisha. It has no single traceable root, standing as a melodic creation from a decade fond of such blends. A faint echo of Kate may also lend it a familiar opening, though the name is an invention rather than a form of Katherine.
Katesha was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its late-nineteen-seventies peak. A girl named Katesha then is in her later forties today.
