History & Origin

Mekesha is a modern coinage joining the Me- front with a Kesha element. Kesha is generally linked to Keisha, in turn associated with the biblical Keziah, a daughter of Job whose name refers to the fragrant cassia spice. Mekesha, flourishing in the early nineteen-eighties, reworks those familiar sounds into a longer, rhythmic name.

Mekesha was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the early nineteen-eighties. A girl named Mekesha then is in her mid-forties today.

Did you know? The Kesha inside Mekesha ties back through Keisha to the biblical Keziah, one of Job's daughters, whose name means the fragrant cassia spice, giving this coinage a scented ancestry.
