Meaning & origin

Cayci is a modern American name that first appeared in Social Security records in 1977. Its peak usage came in 1993, reflecting the 1990s trend of inventive phonetic spellings of traditional names like Casey. The name has never entered the top 1000, remaining a rare choice. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1990s, with no significant revival. Cayci is used almost exclusively for girls, and its top states of popularity are not concentrated in any region, indicating widespread but low-frequency use.

Cayci is a modern American coinage from the late 20th century, likely a respelling of the Irish surname Casey or the nickname Kacey.

The name first appeared in Social Security records in 1977 and saw its peak usage in the 1990s.
