Origin

Meaning and history of Kaceon

The name Kaceon is believed to have originated from a blend of Greek and Latin roots, with its earliest recorded use dating back to the 15th century. The first part of the name, "Kace," is derived from the Greek word "kakos," meaning "bad" or "evil," while the latter part, "on," stems from the Latin suffix "-on," indicating "being" or "entity."

During the Middle Ages, the name Kaceon was sometimes used in monastic circles as a symbolic representation of the struggle against temptation and the pursuit of spiritual purity. In this context, the name was meant to serve as a reminder of the constant battle against inner demons and the importance of maintaining a virtuous path.

One of the earliest recorded individuals bearing the name Kaceon was a Benedictine monk who lived in the early 16th century in the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, located in present-day Paris, France. Unfortunately, historical records from that era are scarce, and little is known about his life beyond his monastic vocation.

In the 17th century, a notable figure named Kaceon Aurelius emerged as a prominent scholar and philosopher in the Netherlands. Born in 1624 in Amsterdam, Aurelius was known for his writings on moral philosophy and his advocacy for ethical conduct in both personal and professional spheres. His most celebrated work, "De Virtute et Vitio" (On Virtue and Vice), explored the complexities of human nature and the constant struggle between good and evil.

During the Enlightenment period, a French intellectual and writer named Kaceon Montfort (1692-1778) gained recognition for his contributions to the fields of literature and social commentary. Montfort's satirical works often challenged the prevailing societal norms and advocated for greater individual freedoms and rational thought.

In the 19th century, Kaceon Fairfield (1821-1897) was a prominent American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Born into a Quaker family in Pennsylvania, Fairfield dedicated her life to advocating for the abolition of slavery and promoting equal rights for women. She was a vocal speaker and writer, and her speeches and essays played a significant role in shaping public opinion during the tumultuous years leading up to the American Civil War.

Another notable figure was Kaceon Alastair (1878-1956), a British explorer and adventurer who gained fame for his daring expeditions to remote regions of the world. Alastair's accounts of his travels, published in numerous books and articles, captivated readers with tales of exotic lands, dangerous encounters, and personal perseverance in the face of adversity.

FAQ

Kaceon: questions and answers

How many people in the U.S. are named Kaceon?

Name Census puts the figure at roughly 115 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kaceon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,980,473 US residents.

Is Kaceon a common name?

We classify Kaceon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 66.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 116 babies have been registered with this name.

When was Kaceon most popular?

The single biggest year for Kaceon was 2023, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kaceon is about 6 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.

What does the SSA popularity chart show?

The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Kaceon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Kaceon a male name?

Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kaceon in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.

Is Kaceon still being used today?

Yes. The SSA still recorded Kaceon in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.

Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?

Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Kaceon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.

Where does this data come from?

First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.

Does every first name have Census demographic data?

No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
