cas is in Origin.
Cas is a compact given name with multiple roots. In Dutch it functions as a short form of Casper/Caspar, one of the traditional names of the Magi; that line traces back to Persian ganzabara, “treasurer.” It can also abbreviate Slavic Kazimierz/Casimir, usually interpreted as “proclaimer” or “keeper of peace” (kaziti/kazać + mir, “peace”). In Latin contexts it may stem from Cassius, a Roman family name probably from cassus, “hollow,” though the etymology is debated.
Carried through medieval Europe via the cult of the Three Kings, Cas became especially common in the Low Countries and now stands independently, ranking highly in modern Dutch and Flemish use. English-speaking parents have adopted Cas in the 21st century for its brisk, contemporary sound, and it can serve as a unisex nickname. Variants and relatives include Kas, Caz, Caspar, Casper, Kasper, Gaspar, Gaspard, Kazimir/Kazimierz, and Casimir.
