Kisiah is in Origin.

Kisiah is a rare American variant of Keziah, from the Hebrew Qetsiʿah/Qetziah (קְצִיעָה), meaning “cassia,” the fragrant bark related to cinnamon. In the Hebrew Bible, Keziah is named as one of Job’s daughters (Job 42:14), and the spice’s association with sweetness and preciousness gave the name gentle, aromatic overtones. English Nonconformists adopted Keziah in the 17th century, and the name traveled to colonial America, where phonetic spellings like Kisiah arose.

Usage of Kisiah peaks in 18th–19th‑century American records, particularly in the South, before fading in the 20th century; today it remains extremely uncommon yet familiar through its biblical root. Variant spellings and related forms include Keziah, Kezia, Kezziah, Kiziah, Kizziah, Ketziah/Ketzia, and Cassia; diminutives Kizzy and Kezzie occur in folk and literary use. The name carries a nature‑tinged, vintage feel anchored by enduring scriptural heritage.
