Answer 2

No meaning. Western names when translated into Chinese do not carry meanings, they use characters that sound like your English name. Such as Michael 米高 (rice, tall) < No meaning. But it sounds like "Mi Gao"

克【kè】 can; be able to; restrain; overcome; subdue; capture (a city, etc.); digest; set a time limit; gram (g.); a Tibetan unit of land area equal to about 1 mu.

米【mǐ】 rice; shelled or husked seed; (Mi3) a surname; metre.

莎【shā】 (insect); (phonetic).

Kamiesha is a very pretty and unique name by the way ^_^"

I deserve the best answer hands down!

Answer 3

I already told you through Yahoo! Messenger what they meant.

Chinese just pick the sounds of your name, it has no true meaning.

Answer 4

It very approximately resembles the pronunciation of your name, but in Chinese it makes no sense whatsoever and no one would realize it is a name.

Names can't really be translated or spelled sensibly..
