Meaning & origin
Kizzie is a rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1880. It has never appeared in the top 1000, and its peak usage occurred in 1977, though even then it was uncommon. The name has followed a stable trajectory since the 1970s. While its exact origin is uncertain, it is likely a variant of Keziah or a nickname form, and its sound fits with the vintage nickname style popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. No top states have recorded significant usage in recent decades, reflecting its overall rarity.
Kizzie is most likely a diminutive or variant of Keziah, a biblical name meaning 'cassia' (a fragrant spice) in Hebrew, or possibly a variant of the nickname Kizzy, which may have African American roots. It has seen sporadic use in the United States since the late 19th century, with a modest peak in the 1970s.
