Keziah (name)

Keziah is a female given name of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the Hebrew word "Qetziah" (קְצִיעָה), which translates to "cassia tree," a type of cinnamon-like spice tree. The name is found in the Old Testament of the Bible (Job 42:14) as the second of Job's three daughters born after his period of suffering. The other two daughters were Jemimah and Keren-happuch.

The name Keziah is less common than some other biblical names. Its meaning connects it to fragrance, beauty, and potentially healing properties, due to the association with the cassia tree. The biblical context links it to renewal and blessings following hardship.
