What is the meaning of the name Kezzi ?

Kezzi is Hebrew in Origin.

Kezzi is a modern diminutive of Kezia/Keziah, ultimately from the Hebrew Qetzi’ah (קְצִיעָה), meaning “cassia,” the fragrant spice related to cinnamon. The name appears in the Book of Job as one of Job’s daughters, a figure often associated with beauty and renewed blessing. Through that biblical route it entered English use and was favored again by 17th‑century Puritans, especially in England and Scotland, where pet forms like Kezzie helped shape today’s Kezzi.

As a given name Kezzi feels brisk and contemporary, yet keeps the warm aromatic imagery of its root - “cassia,” “fragrant spice,” or “cinnamon-like tree.” Common variants and related forms include Kezi, Kezzie, Kezzy, and Kez, with formal counterparts Kezia, Keziah, Ketzia, and Ketziah. Usage remains rare but recognizable across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and some families treat Kezzi as gender-neutral, though it is chiefly feminine.
