Kaysha is in Origin.

Kaysha (pronounced KAY-sha) is a modern English given name, most often feminine, that arose as a stylistic variant of Keisha. Keisha itself developed in the late 20th century, especially within African-American communities, where inventive spellings and lyrical sounds drew on multiple sources. Many link the name to Arabic Aisha/Ayesha, meaning "alive, living, prosperous," while others note an echo of Hebrew Keziah (Kezia), "cassia" or "spice." In U.S. statistics, Keisha peaked in the 1970s-1990s; the Kaysha spelling gained modest use in the 1980s and 1990s and also appears in the UK and Caribbean.

Variants and related forms include Keisha, Keysha, Keshia, Keasha, Kesha, and the elaborations Lakeisha/Lakisha; cognates Aisha/Ayesha and Keziah are etymological touchpoints. Though primarily feminine, the mononym of a French-Congolese artist has lent Kaysha occasional unisex visibility. Overall, the name carries the sense of vitality or fragrant cassia, depending on the lineage claimed.
