Keisha is a female given name which has multiple meaning across languages like "Favourite", "Restored to the heart of God" or "Cassia Tree"

The meaning ‘restored to the heart of God’ refers to Job’s restoration after the trials he encountered in the first phase of his life.[citation needed]
In Swahili cultures, Keisha means "Favorite".[citation needed]
It is also considered an African-American name in the United States.[2]
