Kezia is Hebrew in Origin.
Kezia is an English form of Hebrew Qetsiyah/Qetziah (קְצִיעָה), meaning cassia, the aromatic bark related to cinnamon used in incense and sacred anointing oil. In the Book of Job, Keziah is the second of Job’s three daughters born after his restoration, and the name has long carried connotations of fragrance, blessing, and beauty. Common pronunciations include KEH-zee-uh and keh-ZY-uh, with Keziah often favoring the latter in British usage.
Adopted by English Puritans in the 17th century, Kezia/Keziah appears in parish rolls and early American records, later persisting in the rural South and among Nonconformists. Variants and related forms include Keziah, Ketzia/Ketziah, Kesia, Kesiah, and the diminutives Kez, Kezzie, and Kizzy; Zia is a modern short form. The name enjoys modest contemporary use across the UK, the United States, and parts of Africa and the Caribbean through biblical naming traditions.
