    The Story Behind Kesha

    The name Kesha is primarily known as an American name, often considered a variant of Keisha. Keisha itself is thought to be an Americanized form of the Hebrew name Keziah, meaning 'cassia tree' or 'cinnamon tree'. However, Kesha also has roots in Russian as a diminutive of Innokenty or Ksenia, and in Sanskrit as a name meaning 'hair' or 'long hair', though these origins are less commonly associated with the American usage. The name gained significant public recognition in the late 2000s and early 2010s due to the American pop singer Kesha Rose Sebert.
