Kesha is English in Origin.
Kesha is an English feminine given name, chiefly a streamlined variant of Keisha/LaKeisha, names coined within African-American communities and often linked either to Aisha (Arabic “alive, living”) or to Keziah (Hebrew “cassia,” a fragrant spice). In Russian usage, Kesha (Кеша) appears as a colloquial masculine nickname for Innokentiy, ultimately from Latin Innocentius “innocent, harmless.” The form is also occasionally seen in South Asia, echoing Keshav/Keshava, an epithet of Krishna.
In the United States, Kesha and its cousins rose in the 1970s-80s and regained pop-culture visibility after singer Kesha’s debut in 2009. Common variants include Keisha, Kiesha, Keesha, Kisha, Lakesha, and Nakeisha; related forms include Aisha and Keziah. Today Kesha reads modern and pan-cultural: predominantly feminine in English, but a masculine diminutive in Russian contexts.
