Kasienka is Polish in Origin.
Kasienka is the diacritic-free rendering of Polish Kasieńka (pronounced kah-SHEN-kah), a tender diminutive of Katarzyna, the Polish form of Catherine. Through Catherine it ultimately traces to Greek Aikaterinē; while the etymology is debated, the name is commonly linked with katharos, “pure.” The Polish -eńka suffix intensifies warmth and smallness, so Kasieńka carries the nuance “little/dear Kasia,” with the traditional “pure” sense in the background.
Used widely as a pet name in Poland for centuries, it appears in folk songs, children’s verse, and modern novels, and is occasionally bestowed as an independent given name, especially in the diaspora where diacritics are dropped. Variants and related forms include Kasieńka (standard Polish), Kasia and Kaśka (diminutives), and the formal Katarzyna; broader cognates are Katarina/Katerina, Kateryna, and Catherine/Katherine, with parallel nicknames such as Katya or Cathy.
