Masiah is a modern English given name most often understood as a streamlined variant of Messiah, itself from Hebrew Mashiach, meaning “anointed one.” Through that route it carries connotations of consecration and chosenness. Some also view Masiah as a clipped spelling of the biblical Maaseiah (Hebrew Maaseyah), borne by several minor figures in the Hebrew Bible, meaning “work/deed of Yahweh.” Usage is predominantly masculine but can be unisex.

As a personal name, Masiah was rare before the late 20th century and appears chiefly in the United States, where creative respellings of religious names gained traction from the 1990s onward. It remains far less common than Messiah but benefits from the familiar -siah ending shared with Isaiah and Josiah. Variant forms include Messiah, Mesiah, Masiyah, Masiya, and Masyah; related biblical spellings include Maaseiah/Maaseyah. Informal short forms such as Si or Siah sometimes occur.
