Kneesee
Today I went to a new salon and my hairstylist's name was Kneesee (spelled correctly because it was on her card.) She was African American. Has anyone ever heard of this name before or have any idea where it came from, just for curiosity's sake? When I googled the name, there were other matches, so appartently she isn't the only one.

I would suspect this is just a rare respelling of Niecy or Neecey, and that it was original just a pet form of names containing a syllable normally pronounced like the word "niece" in the USA, such as Denise, Shanice, Bernice, etc.
