Casya is in Origin.

Casya is a modern, streamlined variant of Cassia/Kassia, ultimately from Greek kassia “cinnamon” via Latin cassia, and it also overlaps with the Roman family name Cassia (the feminine of Cassius). It conveys the sense of “cinnamon” or the fragrant cassia tree, and by Roman lineage, “of the Cassia family.” The -y- spelling evokes a Slavic-diminutive feel and may suggest a crossing with Polish Kasia (Katarzyna's pet form), though Casya stands on its own in contemporary naming.

While rare in historical records, its roots trace to classical Rome (gens Cassia) and to Byzantium through Kassia (Kassiani), the 9th-century abbess and hymnographer. In Lusophone countries, Cássia has been steady since the 20th century; English Cassia/Casia see periodic revivals alongside other nature names. Variants and cognates include Cassia, Kassia, Cássia, Casia, Kasia (Polish), and the related masculine Cassius; potential diminutives are Cas, Casi, or Sia. This spelling offers a soft, international twist with botanical resonance.
