Casey
Featured in baby name books
Casey is an Irish name meaning “watchful,” “observant,” or “vigilant,” with one source adding “brave in battle.” Casey rose to fame through the 1888 poem “Casey at the Bat” and the railroad hero Casey Jones, who died saving his passengers. Casey suits both a child and an adult and both sexes, though boys have shied away as girls adopted it. Famous Caseys include Casey Stengel and Casey Kasem.
