Chubby; also a short form of Keziah meaning cassia tree.
Kess is a rare name with multiple potential origins. It is often cited as a Dutch diminutive of Cornelia or a short form of the Hebrew Keziah, which refers to the fragrant cassia spice tree. In some contexts, it is also linked to the English surname Kess, derived from a nickname for a rounded or 'chubby' person.
