Keshia is English in Origin.
Pronounced KEE-sha, Keshia is a modern English given name usually treated as a spelling of Keisha, linked to Keziah (Hebrew Qetsiyah), a daughter of Job. Keziah means “cassia,” the aromatic spice, a sense often carried over to Keshia. The form also aligns with the -isha naming pattern popular in African-American communities, influenced by names such as Aisha and Latisha, giving it a contemporary, melodic feel.
Usage rose sharply in the United States during the 1970s–1990s and the name is also found in the UK and Caribbean. A notable bearer is actress Keshia Knight Pulliam. Variants and related forms include Keisha, Keesha, Kiesha, Kisha; elaborations LaKeisha/Lakisha and Lakeesha; and the older biblical Keziah/Kezia. While many choose it for sound and culture, the inherited meaning associated with its Hebrew root remains “cassia” or “cinnamon.”
