Kysiah is a modern respelling of Keziah/Kezia, a Hebrew name (Qetsiyah/Qetziah) from the Book of Job, borne by one of his daughters. The Hebrew word denotes the cassia tree, an aromatic relative of cinnamon, so the name conveys fragrance, spice, and value. Through translations into Greek and Latin, it entered English, flourishing among Puritans after the Reformation. In parish and census records of Britain and early America, it appears with wide phonetic variation.

Variants include Keziah, Kezia, Ketzia, Ketziah, Kiziah, Kesiah, and the modern Kysia/Kysiah. The Kysiah spelling surfaces in 18th–19th-century US records, especially in the South, and today reads like a contemporary "Ky-" update while preserving the biblical core. Related forms occur in modern Hebrew as Qetzia/Qetziya. Overall meaning remains "cassia" or "cinnamon bark," symbolizing sweetness and precious perfume.
