History & Origin

Keasha is one of the numerous spellings of Keisha, a name that rose in African-American communities in the later twentieth century. A faint thread connects the sound to Keziah, 'cassia' in Hebrew, but Keasha is best read as a modern coinage.

It stayed genuinely rare in this spelling, only a few dozen girls a year even at its peak around 1975, and belongs firmly to its era. It reads as a melodious mid-century invention rather than an inherited name.

Did you know? Keisha and its many spellings flourished in African-American naming from the 1960s onward; some link the sound to the biblical Keziah, though most treat it as freshly coined.
