God is gracious
Keishon is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the prefix 'Kei-' with the name Sean or Shawn. As a derivative of Sean, it ultimately traces back to the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' It follows the late 20th-century trend of creating unique rhythmic names within African American communities.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Keishon in 2025.
