There is a muslim name in India which is often written Razia or Radiya, but the pronounciation I have heard often comes close to Rezia. I do not know the origin of the name, but see my previous post on that topic at http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=236076&board=gen

Thanks for the info.

All I know about Rezia is that she was born in Hungerford, Berkshire. We are not Indian by origin.

It is a pet form of Lucrezia and Terezia.
My old highschool had an exchange student from Austria who went by 'Rezia'. I do not know if it was a short form or not. I never met her or talked to her, only saw her and knew of her.

Thanks. This could be a possibility - I will investigate my family tree further.
