For the baby made of sugar, a whole lotta spice, and everything nice, there’s Kisha. This feminine name is African-American in origin, existing either as a form of Keisha or diminutive of Lakeisha. These lyrical names ultimately stem from the Hebrew Qetzi’ah, meaning “cassia,” “cinnamon,” and “spice tree.” A beloved plant that brings warmth, earthiness, and spice to sweet treats and savory dishes, Kisha flows from the lips like a cozy aroma so baby never feels too far from home. Kisha is also an English transliteration of the Sanskrit Kisa, which holds a variety of meanings, from "naked" and "ape" or "monkey" to "the sun" and "a bird."
