Comments for the name Kizzy

Kizzy Kinte was the daughter of Kunta and Bell Kinte in the American classic, ROOTS: THE SAGA OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY.

According to Kunta Kinte, the main protagonist in Alex Haley's ROOTS: THE SAGA OF AN AMERICAN FAMILY, Kizzy means "stay put" in Mandinka.

I think that it is cute.

Kizzy is also the main character in Rumer Godden's children's novel 'The Diddakoi'.

I think this sounds more like a nickname than a name.

Reminds me of kissy.

Other names that were popularised in the late 1970s by the series "Roots": Kunta (pronounced KOON-tə) and Kinte (both taken from the name of the main character Kunta Kinte), Kizzie (variant of Kizzy) and LeVar (inspired by LeVar Burton, the actor who played Kunta Kinte).
