History & Origin
Mikeisha is a modern African American coinage that sets a Mi- or Mike opening before the fashionable -eisha ending associated with Keisha. Names built on -eisha spread widely among Black families in the 1980s and 1990s, prizing sound and invention, and Mikeisha belongs to that wave. It appears in United States records from the mid-1980s and reached its faint high in the mid-1990s.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, so a Mikeisha from that high would be in her thirties today. It reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a revival, and parents drawn to it also like Keisha and Lakeisha.
