Keziah

Pronounced like K-tsi-ah in modern Hebrew.

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 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!

In the Spanish language Keziah is pronounced and spelled as Cesia.

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 :)

This is going to be the name of my little sister. We are pronouncing it Keh-ZEE-ah.

I have met two Keziah's so far, both of which pronounced it kez-ee-ah and used Kezzie/Kez as a nickname.

I've also heard this pronounced KEZ-ee-ah. I like kez-EYE-ah better.
