Kiaza's original home land is Iran. In Persian language its original pronunciation is Kiazai There is a city in Iran with this name called Kiazai and Mamasani County. Kiazai's are the oldest senior citizens in Iran. They also had a war with the forces of Alexander the Great .

Oliver St John, an administrator in British India, who surveyed the Perso-Kelat frontier in the 1870s, describes interactions with the Kiazai(he refers to them as Kiazai). Evidently, they were subjected to the rule of the Khan of Kalat; St John also records an instance of a blood feud between Kiazai and M hassani.[1]
