I have seen 'Ketziah' as a spelling variant. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keziah

Pronounced like K-tsi-ah in modern Hebrew.

I have a friend named Kesia. She says it 'ke-SIE-ah'.

My name is Keszia and the pronunciation always trips people up - it's pronounced Ke-ZEE-ah (as if the 'S' is silent). My name was based off the 'Kezia' spelling if I recall correctly.

There may be some unpopular opinions about the pronunciation of this name, but I knew a young woman with this name who actually pronounced it “KEZ-ee-uh”, not “kez-EYE-uh”, and she was the first person I’d ever met with the name so that’s the pronunciation that stuck in my head more. However, given other names like Mariah, I can see how the latter makes sense to most people.

I think Keziah is such an incredibly beautiful name. I love everything about it. The meaning, the origin and the biblical association.
Job had a great life, but everything was taken away from him, in order to humble him and teach him to have a grateful heart. He endured immense pain, loss and suffering. Ultimately, though, it strengthened his relationship with God, and He blessed Job with a beautiful daughter, and her name was Keziah.
Job 42:12-15 says, “The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. And he also had seven sons and three daughters. The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.”
Considering the biblical association, I think the name Keziah would be perfect for a daddy's girl ♥️
Overall, I think Keziah is a gorgeous name, and it's one of my personal favorites.

It's nice, but I always thought it was KEZ-ee-ah. I think the pronunciation could cause some problems.

I named my daughter Keziah (ke-zeye-ah). I fell in love with it when I saw it in the Bible and I automatically thought it was pronounced that way and even though I know it's not, I like it better that way!

My name is "Kissiah" but as far as I know, it should be "Kezziah". Based on my mom’s story, the mid-wife spelled it incorrectly while registering my name at the Statistic office. But, I am thankful to her mistake because they said that my name is very unique. My college friends call me, Kissh, and at our office sometimes they call me, Shai.

My daughter's name is Kesiya. Origin of the name is Cassia. It is spelt in different ways in different countries. It's a Biblical name and it is seen in Exo 30:24. It is one of the ingredients (sweet scented cinnamon) used in making holy anointing oil. It's not common or normal cinnamon. It's a good name for girls. May Lord bless all Keziahs like meaning of their name and use.

I named my first daughter this year as Princess Keziah. A name I took from the later blessing of Job in the Bible who named her second girl Keziah meaning beauty or the Blessing of God.
I love the name so much and it inspires me as a father that no matter what, our end will be the Glory of God.

Names ain't got skin tones, sis. Frankly, I think the name Keziah would suit a white girl just as beautifully as it would a black girl, or an Asian girl, or Hispanic, biracial, Native-American, or any other race. White parents are free to name their children whatever they desire, as is anyone else.

My parents named me Kezia-Rose and I have to say that I love my name. People just call me Kezia (KEZ-ee-ah) or KEZ for short. It makes me so happy to see all these comments; I always thought that I was one of the very few people to have even heard of this name. My parents aren't religious, and had no idea what my name meant, so recently I decided to look it up because I have gone 15 years with no clue what it means! Of course the fact that it means cinnamon caught my attention as I have a bit of an addiction, but I have also found that it means "to sever" and "it is done" which I found very interesting.

I have a daughter name Ke'Irah. When she was in my womb, I read the Bible to her. I named her Keziah after Job second daughter. The name is a delight and beautiful for a beautiful creation.

My name is Kezia
My parents are native Spanish speakers so when my Hispanic family members say it (Kess-YAH), it has two syllablles and pronounce the "a" with the same "a" sound as in "father"
American people I've came across say it with three stressed syllables (Kes-EE-Yuh) and pronounce the "a" with that schwa mid central "uh" sound similar to the "a" in "about"
Close friends and my siblings call me Kes. My aunts and grandmother call me Case
Either way I'm cool with it.
I'd prefer these over Keisha any day...Only because people mispronounce my name as Keisha quite often :)

Keziah happens to be my name and it means sweet smelling fragrance, or an article of commerce. Can be pronounced as Cassia, gotten from the cinnamon tree... Kezzy for short, is a Hebrew name (job 42:14), they are indeed beautiful, unique and fun loving with a good heart, and rare to find. I love my name and proud of it.

I've always known my name had biblical origins, but couldn't find exactly how it was spelled as there are so many translations. I have a variation of the name, Kessiah. I've battled with liking my name, but grown to love it as I've gotten older. I know of at least two other Kessiahs; one being my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother on my father's side, and a girl whose mother asked mine if she could use the name. I'm thinking of naming a child (girl or boy regardless) a variation of it as well. It makes me happy to see that it's a well liked name worldwide, people always tell me it's unique and beautiful.

I named our second daughter Keziah by inspiration of the ruach ha kodesh. He told me that her name means "protector," just as the bark protects the tree's life force. The ruach told me that she would go through much tribulation in her life and that she would live up to her name by protecting her older sister and others around her. I marvel at Yahweh's wisdom in guiding us to name our children and how they live up to the meanings of their names!

Keziah, pronounced in Hebrew as "Ketzi'ah" was the name of one of Job's daughters after his ordeal had ended. It refers to the cassia tree or rather the spicy sweet smelling cinnamon powder that was obtained from the plant and used as a perfume at the time. Job often mentions in the scriptures how he was so miserable, he "sat in ashes", "he repents in ashes". Ashes are a sign of deep grief and mourning. That when God had healed and restored everything to him, more than he previously had, he named his now second daughter Keziah as a perfumed cinnamon powder a symbol of restoration and beauty in contrast to his ashes of grief and mourning.

This is my name. But I have the alternate spelling, Kisiah. After my 5th great grandmother. I am 35 years old and have met only one other Kisiah in my lifetime. I get compliments on my name almost every time I introduce myself to people. They say it is very unique and beautiful. I am also VERY used to people not remembering my name, it's a hard one. But over all, have always been very happy with my name, and proud of it.

The 'z' makes the name sound harsh, and the -iah too Biblical.

Am very proud of this name because am called Keziah, my friends call me Kezzy or Kez. Apart from other views mine is based on the fact that Keziah was one of the blessings God gave Job after losing all he had. The name Keziah is actually associated with "BLESSING". It is a wonderful name almost devine.

This was the name of my fourth generation grandmother. While doing research about her I found that some people would spell her like like Kisiah, Kesiah, Kessiah and Kazia. I think it is a very beautiful name with a quality of strength and pride. =)

I have known of the name Keziah since a child and always loved it particularly as it comes from the name of the cassia tree which produces cinnamon which is the most gorgeous smell. I have only known one Keziah until finally after three boys my daughter Keziah Star was born - she is now 3 months old and we have had many positive responses to her name. Sometimes we call her Kizzy which I beleive was the usual abreviation when the name was very popuar in Puritan times.

I am very proud to say that is my name. My parents named me from the 3 daughters of Job, Jemimah, Keziah, and Keren-Happuch. My full name is Keren Keziah. It also means "the most beautiful girl in the land". And indeed I know deep inside I am.

Hello I am French and I have called my son Kéziah (born in 1999 and who is seven years old now). This is just to say that Kéziah is not exclusively a girl name, I saw on the web that some people in France did like me. In fact when we thought of giving this name to our son, it was because of Keziah Jones, a great guitarist coming from Nigeria. In order to make it a little bit more a French male name, I have put a French accent on the "e" so that his name is Kéziah (I am not sure that all the other French people did it!). My boy is clever and very nice, and he is very proud of his name, too. Of course, we familiarly call him "Kez." Hoping this could contribute to enlarge the debate about the name.

I think Keziah is one of the most beautiful names there is, which is why my nineteen month old daughter has this name. We call her Kezzie for short too.

I know of a girl named Kezzie. Maybe it's short for Keziah.

The love of my life is from Mexico, and her name is Cesiah, which is the way this name is rendered in an old Spanish Bible. I think it appears better with her spelling. Moreover, I found that the way it is rendered in the Spanish New International Version is Canela, which means Cinammon.

The name is derived from the Hebrew qatsa, which means "to cut off, strip off bark". (http://takeourword.com/current/page1.html)

My wife and I changed the "E" to an "A" and named our son Kaziah. I thought it might be a little odd but he starts high school in the fall and loves his name. All of his friends call him Kaz for short! What a great name!

Might mean "polished, refined" in Hebrew. Job gave all three of his later daughters unusual names associated with beauty and purity.
