Kacie-Leigh is a modern Scottish double-barrelled name that blends two distinct origins. Kacie, a phonetic variant of Casey, traces back to the Irish surname Ó Cathasaigh, meaning “vigilant” or “watchful,” while Leigh derives from the Old English word lēah, meaning a woodland clearing or meadow—often seen in place names like Leigh in Lancashire. As a combined given name, Kacie-Leigh reflects the Scottish fondness for hyphenated forms, particularly popular since the late 20th century. Notable bearers include few figures of wide renown, but the name shares its first element with Kacie Lynch, an American television actress, and its second with the Scottish footballer Leigh Griffiths. Though not tied to a specific historical place, the Leigh component evokes countless pastoral locations across Britain.
