Decade-level aggregation shows that Keesha performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 1,269 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Keesha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 208 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Illinois and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Keesha in 26 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Keesha in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 2,708 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
