Kacy

Girl name · 18 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kacy: 18 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2003.

Kacy is a modern spelling of the enduring Irish and Scottish name Casey, itself an anglicised form of the Gaelic Ó Cathasaigh, meaning "descendant of Cathasach" – a word rooted in "cath" meaning vigilant or watchful. The name gained a fresh spark of fame through Kacy Catanzaro, the first woman to complete the American Ninja Warrior finals course, and singer Kacy Hill. While no major geographical place bears the name directly, its traditional spelling Casey is a well-known surname across Galway and County Kerry. The rise of Kacy reflects a broader trend toward lighter, more streamlined spellings while keeping the warm, friendly sound that has made Casey a classic choice for both boys and girls.
