Kace

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kace: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Though it may feel modern, Kace likely began as a variant of the Irish and Scottish surname Casey, itself an anglicised form of the Gaelic Ó Cathasaigh, meaning “descendant of Cathasach”—a personal name that translates as “vigilant” or “watchful.” Kace emerged more recently as a given name, particularly in English-speaking countries, often chosen for its crisp, energetic sound and resemblance to other short “K” names. It does not have many famous historic bearers, though professional skateboarder Kacee Lopresti shares the spelling; a more notable modern association is with Kacey Musgraves, the Grammy-winning country singer whose name is a phonetic cousin. In Scotland, Kace began appearing in birth records in the early 2000s, sharing the same watchful root as the more common Casey.
