Caz as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Caz

What is the meaning of the name Caz ?

The baby name Caz is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /kæz/ ("kaz", rhymes with "jazz").

Caz is Latin in Origin.

Caz is a brisk, modern nickname that has become an independent given name in English-speaking countries, especially the UK and Australia, from the late 20th century onward. It is used for all genders and remains rare in official statistics. Variant spellings include Kaz and Cas; longer pet forms such as Cazzy or Cazzie also appear, and Cazz is an occasional stylization.

As a short form, Caz can contract several names: Caspar/Casper (ultimately from Persian ganzabara or Semitic gizbar, "treasurer," hence "treasure bearer" and one of the Magi), Casimir/Kazimierz (Slavic elements often interpreted as "proclaimer/keeper of peace"), Cassius (a Roman family name, perhaps "hollow"), and Cassandra (Greek in origin, traditionally linked with the famed Trojan prophetess). Because its roots vary, the name's meaning depends on the parent name; taken on its own, Caz suggests a lively, contemporary feel with echoes of Saint Casimir and the Magi's Caspar.
