Meaning & Origin of Kaeso
Meaning: Disputed by ancient writers: either 'cut' (referencing birth by Caesarean section) or 'blue-grey' (describing eye color).
Origin: Latin (Roman praenomen).
A common claim: Cut, Caesarean birth Actually: This is only one of two explanations Roman writers themselves gave for the name; the other traces it to caesius, 'blue-grey' eyes, so 'Caesarean birth' is not a settled fact.
