Keshaun is a unique and modern unisex given name of American origin. It was first used prominently in the late 20th century, possibly as a blend of popular names like Kesha and Shaun. The name Keshaun consists of two parts: 'Kesha', which may be derived from the Greek name Cassandra, meaning 'excellent' or 'exalted', and 'Shaun', an Irish name derived from Seán, meaning 'God is gracious'. Therefore, Keshaun could be interpreted to mean 'God has been generous with excellence'. The name Keshaun has gained some popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States, where it has appeared more frequently on birth certificates. It is often spelled interchangeably as Keshawn or Keshaune. Despite its growing recognition, Keshaun remains a distinctive and lesser-used choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Keshaun first appeared in the birth records in significant numbers in 1993 with 7 births and has consistently been chosen around 5 times a year since then, with spikes in popularity in certain years such as 1998 and 1999 where it was given to 6 and 7 newborns respectively.
