Keshiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Keshiah is a modern English feminine name that blends the biblical Keziah with the contemporary Keshia/Keisha. Through Keziah it ultimately derives from Hebrew Qetsi'ah, "cassia," the aromatic bark related to cinnamon; the name thus carries associations of fragrance and precious spice.

Keziah appeared in English-speaking records from the 17th century, favored by Puritans and later in colonial America, while Keshia/Keisha rose to prominence in the United States in the 1970s-80s. Keshiah emerges as a rare, stylistic variant in the same period, found across the African diaspora and among Christian communities drawing on Old Testament names. Related forms include Keziah, Kezia, Kesiah, Keisha, Keshia, Kiesha, Kesha, and Kezziah. The prevailing meaning for Keshiah follows its Hebrew root: "cassia; fragrant spice," often interpreted as symbolizing warmth, sweetness, and enduring value.
