Meaning: Caziah is a recent American respelling built on the popular -iah ending shared by Josiah, Isaiah and Nehemiah.

Parents most likely reached for the sound rather than that scripture, blending a Ca- opening with the trendy suffix.Low

History & Origin
Caziah is a twenty-first-century coinage rather than an inherited name, shaped by the enormous popularity of the -iah sound in American boys' names. The nearest genuine parent is the Hebrew Keziah, 'cassia', though most families chose it for its rhythm alongside Josiah and Isaiah.
It never caught on widely, drawing only a couple dozen boys a year at its brief high around the mid two-thousands before slipping away. A boy given it then is barely out of his teens now, and it still reads as a rare, of-the-moment coinage rather than an established name.
