casen is English in Origin.

Casen is a modern American given name, likely a streamlined respelling of Cason/Kason. Often read as “son of Case,” it draws on Case - a medieval English name and surname variously linked to Cass/Cassius, an occupational term from Old French/Latin capsa “box,” or place‑name roots meaning “house” (Latin casa). Some also connect it to Irish Cashin/Ó Caisín “little curly‑haired one,” though that is uncertain.

As a given name, Casen was rare before the late 20th century and rose in the U.S. during the 2000s alongside brisk, two‑syllable -son choices. It skews masculine but sees occasional unisex use. Common variants include Cason, Kason, Kasen, Kaysen, Caysen, and Casyn; related forms are Case and Casey. The name’s appeal is contemporary style and sound rather than a single settled meaning.
