Meaning & origin
Kaysey is a modern given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1980, reflecting a trend of creative respellings of established names. Its peak year came in 1993, after which usage declined before beginning a slow rise again starting in 2022. The name is too rare to calculate a one-in-N rate or to appear in top state lists. Kaysey is likely a variant of Casey, itself an Anglicization of the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Cathasaigh. The name has no historical or literary weight but fits a pattern of feminine names ending with the popular 'ee' sound, such as Kacey and Kayce.
