Nekeyshya is in Origin.

Nekeyshya is a modern American given name, likely a creative variant of Keisha formed with an ornamental Ne- prefix and a -shya ending. Keisha is commonly linked to the biblical Keziah, a Hebrew name meaning "cassia" (aromatic bark), and may also reflect the influence of Aisha (Arabic) "alive, living." Like many Keisha-forms, Nekeyshya emphasizes contemporary sound more than a discrete historical etymology.

The name fits African-American naming styles that flourished in the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s, when Keisha/Lakeisha peaked in use; Nekeyshya itself remains very rare in official tallies. Close variants include Nekeisha, Nekeesha, Nakeisha, Nikesha, Nekeshia, Keisha, Keyshia, Keshia, and Lakeisha. Nicknames range from Keysh and Kesh to Kiki. Approximate pronunciation: neh-KEESH-yah.
