Nekeysha is in Origin.

Nekeysha is a modern English given name created by adding the expressive prefix Ne- to Keisha. Keisha itself developed in African-American and Caribbean communities from the biblical Keziah (Hebrew Qeṣī‘āh), meaning “cassia,” the aromatic spice; by extension it evokes fragrance, sweetness, and beauty. Pronounced neh-KEE-sha or nə-KEE-shə, Nekeysha retains Keisha’s associations while the Ne- prefix personalizes the form within contemporary naming styles.

The name saw scattered use from the 1970s through the 1990s in the United States, paralleling the rise of Keisha and Lakeisha, and appears in Caribbean and UK diaspora records as well; it remains uncommon today. Spelling is highly variable: Nakeisha, Nekeesha, Nekisha, Nikiesha, Ne’Keshia, and Nakeysha occur alongside core forms Keisha, Keshia, and Kiesha. Short forms include Keisha or Keysha. Because its structure follows productive patterns (prefix + Keisha), Nekeysha is easily recognized yet distinct, carrying the inherited meaning “cassia; fragrant spice.”
