Kezzie is in Origin.

Kezzie stems from the Hebrew-rooted Keziah/Kezia (Qetsiah), meaning “cassia,” the fragrant spice tree related to cinnamon. Through biblical use - Keziah is named as one of Job’s daughters - the name carried associations of sweetness, precious perfume, and blessing. Kezzie developed as a cozy pet form in English and especially Scottish speech, where -ie diminutives are common, and now functions both as a nickname and as an independent given name.

The form flourished with Puritan and Nonconformist naming in 17th–18th‑century Britain, then saw Victorian and modern revivals. While chiefly feminine, Kezzie sometimes appears as a unisex choice today. Close variants include Keziah, Kezia, and Kesiah; related short forms are Kez, Kezza, and Kizzy. Literary visibility includes Scottish author Theresa Breslin’s novels “Kezzie” and “A Homecoming for Kezzie,” which helped cement the name’s friendly, down‑to‑earth image in contemporary Scotland and beyond.
