Keisha is a female given name which has multiple meaning across languages like "Favourite", "Restored to the heart of God" or "Cassia Tree"

In Hebrew, Keisha is likely derived from Keziah,[1] a Hebrew term that means ‘restored to the heart of God.’ Keziah, in the Hebrew Bible, was the daughter of Job (Job 42:14–17) (1). The meaning ‘restored to the heart of God’ refers to Job’s restoration after the trials he encountered in the first phase of his life.[citation needed]

In Swahili cultures, Keisha means "Favorite".[citation needed]

It is also considered an African-American name in the United States.[2]
