History & Origin

Keisean is a modern coinage attaching the Kei- prefix to Sean, the Irish John. It therefore carries the old sense 'God is gracious' inside a contemporary frame, and it appeared only rarely in American records.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak in the early two-thousands. A boy named Keisean then is a young adult now.

Did you know? Keisean belongs to a family of -shawn and -sean coinages, alongside Keyshawn and Deshawn, that gained ground with African American families in the nineteen-nineties and two-thousands.
