Meaning and background
The story behind Kizzie
Kizzie has a qualified African American surname explanation in the dictionary, which treats it as an apparent variant of Kissee or Keesee, themselves presumed French in origin. The wording is tentative at both stages and should remain so. That account is distinct from any given-name history a household may intend. A dog called Kizzie can honor a family spelling while the reference honestly leaves its earlier surname formation uncertain.
- Origin
- African American surname, apparently related to Kissee or Keesee; the proposed French background is uncertain. Source
