Keziah is a name that comes from the Hebrew for Cassia, from the name for the spice tree.[1] The second daughter of Job was named Keziah (see Job 42:14).

It also symbolizes female equality, since all of Job's three daughters received an inheritance from their father, despite the time period when women were not treated equally as men.
