Ketzyah is Hebrew in Origin.

Ketzyah is a modern transliteration of the Hebrew name Qetsiyah/Ketzia (קְצִיעָה), pronounced ket-ZEE-ah. The root refers to the cassia tree, a spice closely related to cinnamon, prized in antiquity for perfume and incense. In the Hebrew Bible, Keziah appears as one of Job’s daughters (Job 42:14), a figure whose name connotes fragrance, prosperity, and blessing.

The English biblical form Keziah entered parish registers in early modern England and found favor with Puritans in the 17th century, later persisting in the American colonies. Modern Israeli usage prefers Ketzia or Ketziya, while global variants include Keziah, Kezia, Qetsiyah, Qetsiah, and Ketzia; Ketzyah reflects a contemporary “tz” + “yah” spelling. Short forms include Kezi and Zia. The name remains distinctly feminine and carries an elegant, nature-linked meaning.
