Where does the name Casey come from?
Casey comes from the Irish surname Casey, says Behind the Name, an anglicized form of Ó Cathasaigh, from the given name Cathassach, meaning “vigilant”. Wikipedia adds that it can also be a nickname for Cassandra or for the initials K.C. It is used for both girls and boys.
Other forms of Casey
Behind the Name lists Kacey, Kacie, Kasey, Kayce and Kaycee as variants, and Case and Kase as diminutives. Casey is already short, so it is usually left as it is.
Well-known Caseys
John Luther “Casey” Jones was a locomotive engineer for the Illinois Central Railroad. Behind the Name says he got his nickname because he was raised in Cayce, Kentucky. Wikipedia says he was killed in 1900 when his train hit a stalled freight train in Vaughan, Mississippi, and his skillful slowing of the engine saved the lives of his passengers. “The Ballad of Casey Jones” made him a folk hero.
Casey’s popularity
Casey was a 1980s and 1990s girls’ name. US Social Security data has it at 103rd in the 1980s, when more than 27,900 American girls were named Casey, and 122nd in the 1990s. Wikipedia says it was also in the boys’ top 1,000 from 1942 to 2022.
A few more things about Casey
Casey is also baseball’s most famous strikeout. Wikipedia says “Casey at the Bat” is a mock-heroic poem by Ernest Thayer, first published in The San Francisco Examiner on June 3, 1888, under the pen name “Phin”. It tells of the Mudville team losing in its last inning, and it became one of the best-known poems in American literature.
