Keiosha is a modern American feminine name associated with African-American naming creativity of the late 20th century. Likely a blend or elaboration of Keisha and Aisha/Asha, it uses the productive -osha/-asha ending; Kei- echoes Keisha, itself linked either to Hebrew Keziah (“cassia, cinnamon”) or to Arabic Aisha (“alive, living”). Thus Keiosha is often read as evoking life and fragrant spice, though as a recent coinage it has no single traditional meaning.
