Pronounced KEE-shuh (/ˈkiːʃə/), Kiesha is a female given name that arose in English-speaking communities as a variant of Keisha, itself rooted in the Hebrew Keziah meaning “cassia” and subtly shaped by Swahili phonetics. In the United States, statistical records reveal a rise in its popularity throughout the 1970s and early 1980s—registering over a hundred births in peak years—followed by a steady decline to fewer than ten occurrences by 2010, making it unlikely to top contemporary charts. The name carries an understated elegance akin to the fluid strokes of Persian calligraphy or the swirling patterns of a mosaic, marrying historical depth with modern resonance. Its quiet strength and rich etymological heritage afford parents a distinctive choice that balances cross-cultural intrigue with approachable simplicity.
