Keyniah is a unique and striking given name, derived from Hebrew origins, meaning "crowned by God". It is an alternative spelling of the more commonly known name Keziah, which is also found in biblical texts such as Job 42:13-14. Keyniah has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries, due to its distinctive sound and modern feel. Despite its Hebrew roots, it does not strictly adhere to traditional naming conventions within the Jewish community, making it a more contemporary choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child. The name Keyniah consists of three syllables: Ke-y-ni-a(h), which can be emphasized in various ways depending on personal preference. It is often mistakenly pronounced as "Key-nye-uh" when the correct pronunciation is "Kay-nigh-uh", with the stress falling on the second syllable and the 'i' sound being lengthened.
