Keishah is in Origin.
Keishah is a modern English feminine name, pronounced KEE-sha. It is a creative respelling of Keisha, which most scholars trace to the biblical Hebrew Keziah/Qetsiyah ("cassia," the fragrant spice), one of Job's daughters. In African American naming, Keisha was also shaped by the popularity of Arabic Aisha ("alive, living") and elaborated forms like Lakeisha, giving the name both spice-scented and life-affirming resonances.
Usage rose sharply in the United States during the late 1960s-1980s and spread to the Caribbean and the UK; today it is less common but remains familiar. Keishah's final -h is a stylistic flourish mirroring spellings such as Sarah or Hannah. Related variants include Keisha, Kiesha, Keesha, Keysha, Keischa, Lakesha, Lakeisha, and Takisha; short forms include Kei and Kiki. Parents choosing Keishah get a contemporary look anchored in ancient meaning: cassia; fragrant, alive.
