What does Casey mean?
/ˈkeɪsi/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Casey comes from the Irish surname Ó Cathasaigh, "descendant of Cathasach," a personal name built from cathasach, meaning "vigilant" or "watchful." Like many Irish surnames, it crossed over into use as a first name.

Casey has a friendly, all-American ease to it — a name equally at home on a loyal watchdog or a laid-back lap cat.
