KEZIA "cassia" (Hebrew). From the name of the spice tree.
In the Old Testament Kezia was a daughter of Job.

I have ten Keziah's (all female) in my family line and
there are four Keziah's that filed Miller applications.
All of these Keziah's have much more European blood
than Cherokee. I don't think there's a "Native" meaning
for the name, at least not in Cherokee circles, and the
name's not complicated enough for Creek.
