Meaning & origin
Kaysie is a modern feminine spelling of the Irish name Casey, which originated from the surname Ó Cathasaigh. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1972 and saw its peak usage in 1990, when it ranked highest in popularity. Since then, its use has been declining, reflecting a broader trend away from creative spellings of traditional names. Currently, the name is given to roughly 1 in every 146,115 baby girls, placing it well outside the top 1,000. While it never charted in the top states, Kaysie fits a pattern of Irish-derived names that gained traction in the late 20th century.
Kaysie is a modern spelling variant of Casey, which itself is an anglicization of the Irish surname Ó Cathasaigh, derived from 'cathasach' meaning 'vigilant' or 'watchful'. The name has been used as a given name since the 20th century, with the Kaysie spelling emerging in the 1970s.
