Kacie: 202 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 21 births in 2012.

Kacie is a modern phonetic spelling of the classic Casey, which itself comes from the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Cathasaigh, meaning "descendant of Cathasach" – a personal name derived from *cathasach*, meaning "vigilant" or "watchful." The name gained popularity in Scotland from the 1980s onward, partly influenced by American singer Kacey Musgraves, though she spells it differently. A well-known bearer is Kacie Dingwall, a Scottish actress known for her role in the soap opera *River City*. The name also shares its root with the Irish county of County Kildare, whose name comes from *Cill Dara* meaning "church of the oak," though this is a different etymology. Kacie is a variant of Casey, which in Scotland has been used for both boys and girls, though Kacie is almost exclusively feminine.
