Meaning & origin

Kazia is a rare and modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1982. Despite its recent origin, it saw a modest peak in 1987 and has been rising in usage since 2022, suggesting a slow but steady increase in appeal. Its exact meaning is uncertain, though it may be related to the Greek name Kassia, meaning 'cinnamon.' The name's sound, ending in the popular 'ia' suffix, gives it a soft, contemporary feel. With an estimated rarity of 1 in 321,453 births in 2025, Kazia offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking something uncommon.

Kazia is a name of modern origin, first recorded in the United States in 1982. It may be a variant of Kassia, which itself derives from the Greek name Kassia, meaning 'cinnamon.'
