In 1977, 1,117 American girls were named Kizzy.
The year before, the name did not appear in the national baby-name data at all.
Then Roots aired.
Kizzy was the daughter played by Leslie Uggams in Roots, one of the largest television events in American history. (Levar also made a strong debut that year).
