Kaison

Boy name · 29 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kaison: 29 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2025.

Kaison is a modern given name possibly derived as a variant of the English surname Cason, which may come from a medieval nickname or place name. Another possible origin is as a respelling of the Irish surname Casey, meaning "vigilant" or "watchful." The name has appeared in Scottish birth records since the late 20th century, reflecting a trend toward surname-inspired first names. While no widely known historical bearers are recorded, its contemporary feel has attracted parents seeking a distinctive choice. A subtle geographic link exists through phonetic similarity to the Scottish town Kelso, though no direct place connection is established. Common variants include Kason and Kayson, which share the same blend of familiarity and novelty.
