Kasheena is an uncommon and unique given name of African American origin. It is derived from the Ashanti word "Kwaku" which means "born on Saturday". The name Kasheena was popularized by the late soul singer Minnie Riperton, who used it as her stage name during the 1970s. It is often associated with a strong and independent spirit, reflecting the cultural roots of its African American heritage.
