History & Origin

Kasee is a spelling variant of Casey, an Irish surname-name from a word meaning 'vigilant'. During Casey's run as a popular unisex name, families writing it for a daughter often chose softer, individual spellings, and Kasee is one such choice, keeping the sound and the meaning of the original.

This spelling stayed rare, a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1990, even as Casey itself was common. A Kasee from then is in her thirties now, and the bright, breezy name still reads as usable rather than dated.

Did you know? Casey and its spellings became a favourite unisex name in the later twentieth century, with the girl's side often taking creative forms like Kasee.
