Keosha is in Origin.

Keosha is a modern American feminine name that arose within African-American naming traditions in the late twentieth century. Its formation likely extends Keisha with the -osha ending or blends elements of Keisha and Aisha. Because of these links, the name is often interpreted through two etymological routes: from Arabic Aisha, "alive; living," or from Hebrew Keziah, by way of Keisha, meaning "cassia," the fragrant spice. As with many creative coinages, Keosha’s meaning can be understood as inheriting one or both of these associations.

Usage concentrates in the United States, where it appears in baby-name data chiefly across the 1980s and 1990s before becoming less common. Variant spellings include Kiosha and Kyosha; related forms are Keisha, Kesha, and Lakeisha. Short forms such as Kei, Keo, or Kiki are occasionally used. Keosha suits parents seeking a distinctive yet culturally resonant name with warm, lyrical sounds and flexible, life-affirming meanings.
