Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kasey-Leigh: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
Kasey-Leigh is a modern, compound name blending two distinct origins. Kasey is an English variant of Casey, which itself derives from the Irish Gaelic *Cathasaigh*, meaning "vigilant" or "watchful." Leigh is an English surname-turned-first-name, rooted in the Old English *lēah*, meaning "wood" or "clearing." The combination creates a name that feels both spirited and grounded. Famous bearers include Kasey Kahne, the American NASCAR driver, and Kasey Chambers, the acclaimed Australian country singer. While no major places are directly named after a Kasey-Leigh, the Leigh element appears in many British place names like Leigh-on-Sea. This double-barrelled spelling, with its hyphen and capitalised second part, is a distinctly modern Scottish naming trend, often chosen to give a traditional name a fresh, personalised twist.
