Kezzey is English in Origin.

Kezzey is a modern English given name, most often a creative respelling of Kezzie, itself a diminutive of Keziah or, less commonly, Mackenzie. As a derivative of Keziah (Hebrew Qetsiyah), it carries the meaning “cassia,” the fragrant spice related to cinnamon and a symbol of sweetness and worth. When linked to Mackenzie (from Gaelic MacCoinnich/MacKenzie), it inherits the surname sense “son/descendant of Coinneach,” ultimately “comely, fair.” This dual pathway gives Kezzey both botanical-biblical and Scottish surname associations, making it usable for any gender.

Keziah appears in the Book of Job and enjoyed revival among English Puritans and in colonial America. Kezzie emerged as a familiar form in Scotland and Britain from the 19th century; eye-catching Z spellings and the -ey ending have fueled modern variants like Kezzey from the late 20th century onward. Related forms include Kezzie, Kezzy, Kezi, Kezie, Keziah/Kezia, Kenzie, and Mackenzie.
