What Does the Name Kasiah Mean?
Kasiah is a respelled variant of Keziah, a name from the Hebrew Bible. It goes back to the Hebrew qetzi'ah (קְצִיעָה), the word for cassia, an aromatic bark related to cinnamon. The literal sense is the spice itself. Cassia was burned as incense, and the same word appears in Psalm 45:9 in a list of fragrant spices alongside myrrh and aloes. The Hebrew noun is tied to a root meaning "to strip off bark," which describes how the bark was cut and prepared.
In the Book of Job, Keziah is the second of the three daughters born to Job after his fortunes are restored. The daughters' names have often been read as symbolic, and this one has been interpreted as a sign of fragrance or sweetness, but that is a later layer of interpretation on a name whose plain sense is the plant product.
The spelling with a in place of e is an English respelling of the same name rather than evidence of a different source. It may also have been influenced by Cassia, the English and Latin form of the spice name, which entered those languages by way of Greek kasia from the same Hebrew word.
Kasiah Name History & Origins
Keziah appears in the Hebrew Bible only as one of Job's daughters (Job 42:14). English-speaking Protestants adopted it, and it was especially common among Puritans in the 17th century and their descendants in New England, who favored Old Testament names. English usage also produced the short forms Kezia and Kizzy; Kizzy served for centuries as a familiar pet form of Keziah.
Kasiah belongs to the group of English respellings of the name that also includes Kezia, Kazia, and Kasia. Spellings of this kind grew out of the way the name was spoken and written down locally, so the a form has no single point of origin. It remains an uncommon given name in the United States and other English-speaking countries.
The name is not related to similarly spelled names such as Cassie, a short form of Cassandra or Catherine, which comes from a different source.
