Modern invented name, likely a combination of Ke- and Asia
Keyasia is a contemporary American name created by combining the popular prefix 'Ke-' with the name of the continent 'Asia'. It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend of rhythmic, multi-syllabic names within African American communities. The name Asia itself refers to the eastern continent, originally derived from the Greek word for 'sunrise'.
