Ketziah Origin and Meaning

The name Ketziah is a girl's name.

Ketziah is a feminine name with Hebrew origins, derived from the word for cassia, a type of cinnamon and aromatic spice used in perfumes and anointing oils in biblical times. In the Old Testament, Keziah (the more common spelling) was the name of one of Job's three daughters born after his trials. The name carries connotations of beauty, precious value, and healing properties associated with the coveted spice. While uncommon in mainstream usage, Ketziah appeals particularly to families with Jewish heritage or those seeking biblical names beyond the most familiar options. Its exotic sound and meaningful botanical connection make it distinctive, while its biblical roots provide traditional depth and spiritual significance.
