Kasia
Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kasia: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2000.
A short, melodic name with roots in Eastern Europe, Kasia is a Polish diminutive of Katarzyna, the Polish form of Katherine, which ultimately derives from the Greek *katharos*, meaning "pure." While it has separate origins in Japanese as a name meaning "flower" or "fragrance," for English and Scottish speakers the Polish connection is strongest. Notable bearers include Polish actress Kasia Smutniak and singer Kasia Kowalska, both recognised internationally. The name shares its etymological root with Saint Catherine, after whom dozens of places worldwide are named, from the Scottish Fife town of St Cyrus (derived from Saint Cyrus, a local saint with a related name). Kasia offers a fresh, international alternative to the more familiar Katie or Kate, and has quietly gained modest popularity in Scotland since the 1990s.
