Meaning & origin
Keasha is a modern American name that first appeared in the Social Security Administration's records in 1966, a time when invented and respelled names were gaining traction. Its peak year of usage was 1975, during the heyday of similar-sounding names like Keisha and Tanesha. Though the name has never entered the top 1000, it maintained a stable presence through the late 20th century before becoming less common in recent decades. The name's trajectory has been stable over time, reflecting a niche but enduring appeal. As an example of late-20th-century American naming creativity, Keasha draws from the phonetic patterns popular in African American and broader contemporary naming culture.
