Origin, Meaning, And History Of Kizzy
The name originates from the term ‘cassia’ in Hebrew, which refers to a kind of cinnamon and is also a pet version of the English name Kezia or Keziah.
In Exodus 30:22–25 and Psalms 45:7-9 of the Bible, the essential oil of cassia is mentioned as a component of anointing oil, which was used to scent garments and apply to persons, according to the Bible. Cassia oil was also used in commerce as mentioned in Ezekiel 27:18–19. Cassia, which is related to cinnamon, has a strong spice scent and has been used for mental and physical health support since ancient times.
The other variation of the name Keziah is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a lady who was the second of Job’s three daughters born after his ordeals. Her name means ‘restored to the heart of God,’ alluding to Job’s redemption following his tribulations. Keziah’s sisters were named Jemima and Keren-Happuch. Due to the uncommon scenario of all three of Job’s daughters inheriting from their father during a time when women and men were not regarded equally, the name has come to represent female equality.
Keziah, Kezia in Biblical and Ketzi’ah in Biblical Hebrew are popular variations of the name. The spelling Keziah was repopularized in the late 1970s by a character in the book and miniseries ‘Roots.’
