Origin
Meaning and history of Kaiceon
The name Kaiceon has its origins in the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in the region that is now modern-day Italy from around the 8th century BCE to the 1st century BCE. The name is derived from the Etruscan word "kaice," which means "strong" or "warrior," and "on," a suffix denoting a masculine name.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Kaiceon appears in an Etruscan funerary inscription from the 5th century BCE, found in the necropolis of Cerveteri, an ancient Etruscan city located near modern-day Rome. This inscription suggests that the name was used among the Etruscan nobility and upper classes.
In the 3rd century BCE, the name Kaiceon is mentioned in the writings of the Greek historian Polybius, who documented the Punic Wars between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian Empire. Polybius referred to a Carthaginian commander named Kaiceon who led a contingent of mercenary troops during the Second Punic War.
During the Roman Imperial period, the name Kaiceon appears to have been adopted by some Roman families, particularly those with Etruscan ancestry or connections. One notable figure bearing this name was Kaiceon Aemilius, a Roman senator who lived in the 2nd century CE and was known for his oratorical skills.
In the 6th century CE, a Byzantine monk and scholar named Kaiceon of Alexandria is recorded as having authored several treatises on philosophy and theology. His works were influential in the preservation and transmission of ancient Greek knowledge during the early medieval period.
Another historically significant figure with the name Kaiceon was a 12th-century Norman knight who participated in the Third Crusade under the command of King Richard I of England. This Kaiceon was among the knights who accompanied Richard on his journey to the Holy Land and participated in the siege of Acre in 1191 CE.

FAQ
Kaiceon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kaiceon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 15 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kaiceon 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 22,850,289 US residents.
Is Kaiceon a common name?
We classify Kaiceon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 35.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 15 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kaiceon most popular?
The single biggest year for Kaiceon was 2017, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kaiceon 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 Kaiceon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kaiceon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kaiceon 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 Kaiceon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kaiceon 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 Kaiceon 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.
