Kersha is a unique, unisex name of recent origin, derived from the Welsh surname Kerry, which means 'from the dark fort'. It is often associated with the name Kelsey, but has a distinct sound and spelling of its own. In some cultures, it may be considered more feminine due to its soft, flowing consonants, while in others, it could be perceived as more unisex or even masculine. There are no specific historical figures or mythological characters associated with this name, allowing those who bear it to forge their own path and create their own legacy.
