Kalysha is English in Origin.

Kalysha is a modern English feminine name, formed within late-20th-century naming fashions that combine a bright Ka-/Kali- opening with the melodious -isha ending. It most plausibly represents a creative variant of Keisha or Alisha, spellings that rose in the United States and other English-speaking countries from the 1970s onward, especially in African-American use. Records show scattered but steady appearance rather than mainstream popularity, with multiple orthographies coexisting.

Meaning depends on the perceived root: linked to Keisha (ultimately from Hebrew Keziah), it carries the sense "cassia, cinnamon"; linked to Alisha/Alicia (from Germanic Adalheidis/Alice), it suggests "noble." Some hear echo of Sanskrit Kali, though this is phonetic rather than etymological. Variants and relatives include Kalisha, Kaleisha, Kaliesha, Kaleesha, Kalesha, Kylisha, Keisha, Lakeisha, Alisha, Alesha, and Lisha. Nicknames may be Kali, Kay, or Lisha.
