Comments (Meaning / History Only)

I named my daughter Cassia. Cuss-eye-uh. Never with long "e" sound and never with an "sh" sound. I can't do symboled letters, sorry. Her name came from the bible as one of Job's daughters after he went through hell, so to speak.
It is also used as a spice and spelled different. It is like cinnamon. Sweet and strong.
She likes to refer to herself as Sia now that she is in her early 30's.
Cassia (kassee-ah) can also be used to signify literally "Cassia", or the Cassia tree, from which cinnamon bark is obtained. It can thus be considered a plant or spice name. In this sense it is a direct translation of the Hebrew name Ketzia (which appears in the Bible as Keziah, one of Job's daughters).
From the Latin form (Cassius) of the ancient Greek name Kassios(m), Kassia(f). Kassios was one of the many epithets of Zeus. Kassia was a byzantine poet.
