Kassey is Irish in Origin.

Kassey is a modern English given name, a creative respelling that bridges Casey and Cassie. Via Casey, it traces to the Irish surname Ó Cathasaigh, from Cathasach, meaning “vigilant, watchful,” long used as a unisex forename. Via Cassie, it acts as a short form of Cassandra (Greek Kassandra), often interpreted as “she who excels/shines,” linked to the prophetic Trojan princess. Owing to that tie, Kassey skews feminine today, though its sound remains unisex.

Recorded mainly from the late 20th century in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., Kassey reflects the era’s taste for personalized spellings and stays rarer than its cousins. Variants and related forms include Casey, Kasey, Kacey, Cassie, Kassie, and Cassey; nicknames range from Kas/Kass to KC. The name offers a friendly, brisk rhythm and blends Celtic and classical roots while giving a familiar style a distinctive twist.
