Kacye is Irish in Origin.

Kacye is a modern, phonetic respelling of the unisex name Casey, ultimately derived from the Irish surname Ó Cathasaigh. The underlying Gaelic personal name Cathasach conveys “vigilant” or “watchful,” with links to the root cath, “battle,” suggesting steadfast alertness.

Casey emerged as a given name in the English-speaking world through surname-to-forename trends, gaining broad familiarity via figures like the legendary railroad engineer “Casey Jones” and the poem “Casey at the Bat,” and later riding the late‑20th‑century wave of gender‑neutral names in the U.S. Kacye itself is rare but readable, aligning with contemporary creative spellings. Related forms include Casey, Kacey, Kasey, Kacie, Kaycee, Casie, and Kasie; diminutives and nicknames include Case, Cay, and KC. Overall, Kacye carries a meaning of alertness and resolve with a modern edge.
