History & Origin

Kyisha is one of the many inventive American girls' names spun from Keisha and Aisha in the later twentieth century. The Ky- opening gives it a personal stamp, while the underlying sound reaches back to the Arabic Aisha, living or prosperous.

The spelling had a quiet run through the nineteen-seventies and eighties, cresting late in the seventies. Given to only about twenty girls a year, a Kyisha from that peak is now in her forties.

Did you know? The Aisha and Keisha names behind Kyisha carried the Arabic sense of one who is living and thriving into late-century American naming.
