Kaskey is Scottish in Origin.

Kaskey is a rare surname-turned-given name, pronounced KASS-kee. In the British Isles it most closely aligns with the Ulster and Scottish surname Caskey/McCaskey, an Anglicization of Gaelic Mac Ascaidh, itself from Old Norse Ásketill (ás ‘god’ + ketill ‘cauldron/helmet’), yielding the poetic sense “divine cauldron” or “god-helmet.” Through phonetic convergence in Ireland and North America, some families also use Kaskey as a creative spelling of Casey/Kasey, from Ó Cathasaigh, meaning “vigilant, watchful.”

Used sporadically as a given name in the United States from the late twentieth century, Kaskey reads modern and unisex while retaining Celtic appeal. Variants and cognates include Caskey, Kasky, Kasey, Casey, and the longer McCaskey; short forms like Kas or Kay are natural nicknames. As a distinctive choice with gentle consonants and a sturdy -key ending, Kaskey bridges surname style with layered etymology.
