Meaning and background
The story behind Kizzy
Kizzy is an English diminutive of Keziah. Behind the Name also connects renewed use of this particular spelling in the late 1970s with a character in Roots, giving it both a name-family history and a later literary and television association. Its recorded pronunciation is KIZ-ee. Those two connections can coexist: a modern choice may honor the longer name, the character, or a particular person called Kizzy.
