What is the meaning of the name Keziah ?

The baby name Keziah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkɛziə/ (KEZ-ee-ə),/kəˈzaɪə/ (keh-ZY-ə).

Keziah is Hebrew in Origin.

Keziah derives from Hebrew Qetsiyah (קְצִיעָה), meaning “cassia,” the fragrant cinnamon-like bark. In the Book of Job (42:14), Keziah is one of Job’s three daughters, a link that has long associated the name with sweetness, beauty, and precious perfume in the ancient Near East.

Adopted by English Puritans in the 17th century and kept in modest circulation into the 19th, Keziah enjoys occasional modern revivals. Variants include Kezia (common in Britain), Ketzia or Qetsiyah (closer to Hebrew), and the rarer Kezziah; nicknames Kez, Kezzie, and Kizzy are traditional. English pronunciations vary between KEZ-ee-uh and keh-ZYE-uh, while Hebrew tends toward ket-see-AH. With its spice-derived meaning and biblical pedigree, Keziah offers vintage charm with a warm, aromatic note.
