Cesariah is in Origin.

Cesariah is a modern, elaborated feminine name built on Cesaria - the Latin feminine of Caesarius, from the Roman cognomen Caesar - enhanced with the biblical-sounding -iah ending. The origin of Caesar is debated, commonly linked to caesaries “abundant hair” or caedere “to cut,” but in name tradition it signifies “of Caesar,” yielding the sense “imperial; belonging to the emperor.” The -iah flourish adds a Hebrew-tinged cadence without changing the core meaning.

Cesaria has historical footing in late antiquity, notably borne by two 6th-century abbesses of Arles (Caesaria the Elder and Younger), and survives in Romance usage; the Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora also raised its profile. Cesariah itself is very rare and largely a 21st-century English-language creation. Related and variant forms include Cesaria, Caesaria, Cesarina, Cesarine, and the masculine Cesare, Cesario, and Caesar. Contemporary short forms might be Cesa, Sia, or Ria.
