The surname Cassey, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back centuries. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó Cathasaigh," which means "descendant of Cathasach." The Gaelic personal name "Cathasach" itself is derived from the word "cathasach," meaning "vigilant" or "watchful." The surname Cassey is therefore a patronymic name, indicating that it was originally used to identify the descendants of a man named Cathasach.
The Cassey surname originated in County Clare, located in the western part of Ireland. It is believed to have originated in the 11th century, during a time when surnames were becoming more commonly used. The early members of the Cassey family were likely landowners or held positions of importance within their communities.
Over time, the Cassey surname spread from County Clare to other parts of Ireland and eventually to other countries. Irish emigration during the 19th and 20th centuries played a significant role in the surname's dispersal. Many Irish individuals with the surname Cassey left their homeland in search of better opportunities in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, individuals with the surname Cassey can be found in various parts of the world, maintaining their Irish heritage. The surname continues to be passed down through generations, ensuring that the legacy of the Cassey family name lives on.
