Case Day, marked every year on December 27, is a day to appreciate those who share the name Case. This uncomplicated name, usually given to boys, is a medieval English name that has Anglo-French roots. It may have come from the word ‘case,’ which means ‘container.’
History of Case Day
The name Case can be used both as a given name and as a surname. In medieval England, a ‘cas(s)e’ was used to describe a maker of boxes. The word itself came from the Latin ‘capsa,’ which means ‘box.’ The last names ‘Case’ and ‘Casemaker’ were given to people who had those jobs. It was a way to identify citizens for taxation after the ‘Norman Conquest’ and the arrival of the ‘Domesday Book.’
The first appearance of the given name Case in America was in the year 1959. During that time, it was given to five newborn babies. It seems the name didn’t fare too well afterward. It first made its debut on the American Top 100 list of male names in 2006. It did climb out of the lowest depths of usage, but it was still nowhere near as heavily used as more well-known names. As reported in the 2017 Security Administration data, it wasn’t a very popular boy’s name in California. There were only 13 babies given that name in the whole state and only 440 in the whole of the U.S. in that same year. From 1959 to 2018, Case was registered only 6,963 times in the S.S.A. database. If we use the U.N. World Population Prospects for 2019, there would be enough Cases to fill the French territories of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, which have an estimated population of 6,375.
