Meaning & origin
Kace is a modern given name that first appeared on U.S. records in 1988. It reached its peak popularity in 2019 but has been declining since 2020. In the 2010s, it saw moderate use, particularly in southern states like Louisiana, Alabama, and Oklahoma. The name follows a contemporary trend of respelling traditional names or surnames to create distinct identities. Despite its recent origin, Kace has held a consistent presence, with about 1 in every 7,729 boys receiving the name in 2025.
Kace emerged in the late 20th century as a respelling or variant of the name Case. Case originated as an English surname referring to a maker of chests or boxes, from Old French "casse" (Latin "capsa"). The modern usage of Kace as a given name, especially for boys, reflects a trend of using surnames and inventive spellings.
