KEZIA(H) , a female name from the Hebrew 'qetziah, is a biblical Old Testament name, given to the second of the three beautiful daughters of Job. Its literal meaning is supposed to be 'as beautiful as the cassia tree'. First used by the 17th c. Puritans, it was a favourite name in the 18th c. and common in the 19th c. In America it became a popular slave name, often in its pet forms Kizzie or Kissie. Someone has recently checked the 1881 census and estimates that there were about 7,500 Keziah(h)s in Britain at that time, Kerenhappuch, like Keziah, was a daughter of Job. His other daughter had the now more familiar name Jemima. Keziah Brindley also had a sister called Jemima.
