Kezzia is Hebrew in Origin.
Kezzia is an English elaboration of Keziah/Kezia, ultimately from the Hebrew Qetzi‘ah (קְצִיעָה), meaning “cassia,” the fragrant spice related to cinnamon. In the Hebrew Bible she is one of Job’s three daughters (Job 42:14), and the name’s association with aromatic richness has lent it connotations of beauty, blessing, and renewal.
Adopted into English via the King James Bible, the name flourished among 17th‑century Puritans in Britain and New England, resurfacing in 19th‑century Nonconformist families and in modern usage for parents seeking a distinctive scriptural choice. Variants and spellings include Keziah, Kezia, Keziya, Ketzia/Ketziah, and Qetziah; Kezzia represents a modern, zesty respelling. Short forms and nicknames include Kez, Kezzie, and Kizzy. The name appears across Jewish and Christian communities, and in contemporary Israel Ketzia/Ketziya reflects the original Hebrew. Phonetically, English speakers often say KEZ-ee-uh or keh-ZEYE-uh, while Hebrew favors keh-TZEE-ah.
