Kizzi is in Origin.
Kizzi is a modern English variant of Kizzy, the affectionate short form of the biblical name Keziah (Hebrew Qetsiyah), a daughter of Job, meaning "cassia," the fragrant bark related to cinnamon. The diminutive moved from Hebrew into English through early Protestant naming, and its bright, zippy sound settled as KIZZ-ee; the -i ending of Kizzi gives it a sleeker, contemporary look.
Keziah appeared among Puritans in 17th-century England and colonial America, and Kizzy/Kizzie is recorded in 18th- and 19th-century usage. The character Kizzy in Alex Haley's Roots (1976-77) brought the name to wide attention and briefly boosted its use in the US and UK. Today Kizzi reads as sprightly and informal yet anchored by its biblical heritage. Variants and related forms include Keziah, Kezia, Kezziah; nicknames and short forms Kizzy, Kizzie, Kizzi, Kezi, and Kezzie; and the cognate Cassia.
Kizzi is extremely rare. Across 14 countries, we found just 23 recorded uses of it.
