Kaiesha is of African origin, derived from the Yoruba name Kaiyesa, which means 'to observe'. This unique and beautiful name has gained popularity in recent years due to its distinct sound and spelling. Kaiesha begins with a hard 'k' sound, followed by the long 'a' as in 'father', then 'ie' as in 'pie', and ends with the soft 'sha' sound. The name consists of five letters, with three syllables: Ka-i-e-sha.
Kaiesha experienced its peak popularity in 1980 with 10 births that year. The name's usage remained relatively consistent throughout the late 70s to mid-90s, with most years seeing between 5 and 9 births. There was a slight dip in usage after 1989, but it picked up again in the early 90s before gradually decreasing by the mid-90s. Overall, Kaiesha was given to 92 children during this period.
