Casey

Casey is a name with Irish origins and comes from Cathasach, which was an Old Irish household name. Cathasach can be translated to 'being watchful in battle’ or ‘having vigilance in war’ in the Gaelic language. Thus, the meaning of Casey is ‘vigilant in battle’. Casey is also a shorter version of the name Cassandra. There is an early 20th century folk song that goes by the name of 'The Ballad of Casey Jones', which popularised this name in the western world. This melody spoke about how Casey Jones (a railroad engineer) and his fireman speed up their locomotive to cover up the delays but discover another train ahead of them. Casey Jones’s courage shines out when he stays on the train to try all the different ways to stop it, letting his fireman escape to safety. The American actor Casey Cott, known for his performance in 'Riverdale', American YouTuber and owner of 368, Casey Neistat and American director and actor Casey Affleck are some of the stars with the name Casey.
