Keishonna is of African American origin, derived from the Swahili word "ki Njema," meaning "of Germany." This unique and melodic name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries. It consists of two distinct elements: "Ki" which denotes a source or relation to something, and "Njanja," believed to be a derivative of the Swahili phrase "njia ya njaa," translating to "the way of hunger." The name Keishonna thus signifies 'one who comes from Germany' with a possible association to resilience or overcoming hardship. It is often pronounced /keɪ-ˈʃɒnə/ in English, rhyming with the words "ray-shown-a.
"Keishonna had 6 babies born each in 1995 and 1999, making a total of 12 children."
