    I found this site a couple months ago when my sister was trying to name her baby. It has the definitions of names from around the world. Hope it helps.

    From an Irish surname which was derived from Ó Cathasaigh meaning "descendent of Cathasaigh". The name Cathasaigh means "vigilant" in Gaelic. Casey also serves as a form of CASS (feminine).
