Cassiah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Cassiah

What is the meaning of the name Cassiah ?

The baby name Cassiah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KAS-ee-uh,kuh-SEE-uh.

Cassiah is Latin in Origin.

Cassiah is a modern elaboration of Cassia, ultimately from Latin cassia and Greek kasia, the aromatic "cassia" tree related to cinnamon; it also intersects with Hebrew Qetzi'ah (Keziah), Job's daughter whose name means "cassia, fragrant spice." The -iah ending echoes Biblical theophoric names, so pronunciation varies: CASS-ee-uh or ka-SIGH-uh.

As a given name, Cassia appears in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine world, most notably the 9th-century hymnographer Kassia/Kassiani, then reemerges in English as a botanical and virtue-tinged choice alongside Keziah. Cassiah itself is rare but current in English-speaking countries as a distinctive twist. International variants include Cassia, Kassia, Cássia (Portuguese), Kassiani/Cassiane, and Keziah/Kezia; related diminutives are Cass, Cassie, and Sia. The name conveys a sense of warmth and perfume, with meanings clustered around "cassia tree," "cinnamon," and "fragrant," balancing antique roots with contemporary style.
