Meaning & origin
Kaziah is a modern name that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security records in 1995. As of 2025, it ranks 2,822, meaning about one in 26,788 babies receives this name each year. The name's popularity has been steadily rising since 1997, and 2025 marks its highest rank to date. While its origins are clearly tied to the biblical Keziah, the spelling with a 'K' and the 'iah' ending gives it a distinctive contemporary feel. Kaziah is most commonly given in states like Georgia, Florida, and Texas, suggesting a regional preference in the South and Southwest. Parents drawn to this name often appreciate its melodic sound and connection to nature through the cassia tree, while its rarity offers uniqueness without being difficult to pronounce.
Kaziah appears to be a contemporary spelling variant of Keziah, a name from the Hebrew Bible. Keziah was the second daughter of Job, named after the cassia tree, a fragrant spice. This modern form emerged in the late 20th century, likely influenced by the popular -iah ending seen in names like Jeremiah and Isaiah.
