About the name Quezia
Quezia is the spelling that Portuguese Bibles, such as the Almeida Revista e Atualizada, use for the name of Job's second daughter, in Job 42:14. The Blue Letter Bible (Strong's lexicon) gives the Hebrew קְצִיעָה as linked to the same root as 'cassia' and cites the BDB lexicon, which glosses it as 'cassia, of the fragrance'. Behind the Name also links the name to cassia, a spice. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 8,149 people named Quezia, with a median age of 23. Proportionally, it is most common in Amazonas.
