Casca

Worthy of a soul wise beyond its years, Casca is ancient enough to truly embody its etymology. Bearing the meaning of “old,”, Casca is a Roman cognomen derived from Oscan origins. It is warm and vowel-ful yet firmly structured by its “c” and “s” sounds. While you’re unlikely to meet many Cascas in the wild, this name has crowned many a character in pop culture. From Casca Highbottom in The Hunger Games to the titular character of the Casca novel series by Barry Sadler and the warrior Casca in the manga Berserk. Though typically given to boys, its feminine usage in Berserk highlights Casca’s glowing opportunity for gender-neutral flexibility.
