[Opinions] Re: Keziah and Keisha
in reply to a message by Perrine
I have never thought of Keziah pronounced any way but Ke-ZIE-ah. Interesting.
To me, it feels like the name of the girl who runs a church coffee-shop. Very similar vein to Keturah for me.
Keisha is so much more modern. I knew several growing up. It's a very pretty sound and very simple. It's nothing I would ever choose myself, but I adore two-syllable names, so I still like it.
A few websites on Google claim that Keisha is a variant of Keshia, which is a variant of Keziah. This seems very natural to me, so I tend to believe it. The pronunciation listed for Keshia is both Ke-SHY-ah and Kesh-ee-uh.
