Casius
Casius Origin and Meaning
Casius is a masculine name with ancient Roman connections, likely derived from Latin roots. It may be related to the more common Cassius, which comes from an old Roman family name of uncertain meaning, though some sources suggest connections to 'hollow' or 'empty.' Casius could also connect to Mons Casius, the Latin name for several mountains in the ancient Mediterranean world. The name has a strong, classical sound that evokes images of Roman strength and dignity. While rare in modern usage, Casius offers an intriguing alternative to more popular classical names like Cassius or Marcus. Its distinctive spelling gives it a slightly softer pronunciation while maintaining its masculine essence. Parents drawn to ancient history and looking for a name with historical depth but modern usability might find Casius particularly appealing. The name remains uncommon on birth registries throughout Western countries.
