What is the meaning of the name Kezzy ?

The baby name Kezzy is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KEZ-ee (IPA: /ˈkɛzi/).

Kezzy is Hebrew in Origin.

Kezzy is a modern pet-form turned given name derived from Keziah/Kezia, the Hebrew Qeṣi‘ah/Qetsiyah meaning “cassia,” a fragrant spice related to cinnamon. Keziah appears in the Book of Job as one of Job’s daughters, and the name gained currency in 17th–18th‑century England and colonial America under Puritan taste for Old Testament choices. In contemporary use, Kezzy reads lively and informal, sometimes chosen on its own and occasionally used for boys, though it remains primarily feminine.

Variants and cognates include Keziah, Kezia, Kesiah, Kezzie, Kez, and the parallel nickname Kizzy, which saw wider recognition in the Anglophone world after Roots (1977). Less common spellings such as Kezie or Kezy also appear. The cassia etymology conveys associations of sweetness, spice, and aromatic richness, giving Kezzy a warm, vintage‑meets‑modern appeal. It pairs naturally with longer formal names while standing confidently as a succinct, upbeat choice.
