Kazi

Kazi is used as a name and family title in South Asia, especially in Bengal, and comes from Arabic qadi, meaning judge. Its history is connected with a judicial role that could become an inherited family name. That background is more specific than treating Kazi as a newly invented first name with an abstract meaning of wisdom.

Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam provides a major cultural association. In his name, Kazi belongs to the family's title and surname history, which is different from its use as a child's given name today. A family choosing it may preserve that heritage or value the literary connection. The similar Swahili word kazi, meaning work, belongs to a separate linguistic explanation.
