History & Origin

Tykeisha is a coinage joining the Ty- prefix with Keisha, a widely used name sometimes traced to Keziah, Hebrew for a fragrant cassia spice. It is invented rather than inherited, built from familiar and recognizable pieces.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year around its peak in the early nineteen-nineties, and it faded soon after. A girl named Tykeisha then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Tykeisha fronts the popular Keisha with a Ty- opening; Keisha is often tied to Keziah, a biblical name for a sweet spice.
