Unknown; possibly a modern invented name or variant

It likely emerged as a rhythmic blend of popular phonetic elements, such as the prefix 'Ke-' and the suffix '-iyah', or as a creative variation of names like Kamiya or Keziah. Because of its modern roots, it is often chosen for its unique sound rather than a traditional historical meaning.
