Girl name · 266 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kaci: 266 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 22 births in 2007.

Kaci is a modern, streamlined spelling of Casey or Kacie, ultimately deriving from the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Cathasaigh, meaning "descendant of Cathasach," which itself stems from cathasach meaning "watchful" or "vigilant." Though less common with famous bearers, the name has gained visibility through American actress Kaci Battaglia and Kaci Aitchison, an Australian basketball player. No major Scottish places share the name, but it ties to the common Scots-Irish heritage many families in Scotland hold. The spelling Kaci became particularly trendy in the late 20th century as parents sought unique ways to traditional sounds, often associated with a spirited, modern feel.
