What is the meaning of the name Kesiah ?

The baby name Kesiah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /kəˈzaɪə/; respelling: kuh-ZY-uh. Alternate: /kɛˈsaɪə/ (keh-SY-uh)..

Kesiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Kesiah is a variant spelling of Keziah, a feminine given name from Hebrew Qetzi‘ah/Qetziah (קְצִיעָה), meaning “cassia,” the fragrant spice from the cinnamon family, associated with beauty and abundance in biblical imagery. In the Book of Job, Keziah is one of Job’s three daughters named after his restoration, lending the name a connotation of renewal and blessing.

Through Reformation and Puritan naming in the 17th century, Keziah and its spellings entered English use; Kesiah appears in parish and colonial American records through the 18th–19th centuries and survives today in smaller numbers across the English‑speaking world. International forms include Kezia, Ketzia(h), and modern Israeli Qetziya/Qetzia; Portuguese and Brazilian use favors Késia/Kezia. Pet forms such as Kezzie and Kizzy arose in Britain and America. Kesiah thus blends biblical heritage, a nature-derived meaning, and a distinctive, antique English spelling.
