Published name usage
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Boys | 11 · preliminary | 1804 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Boys | 15 | 1705 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Northern Ireland | 2020 | Boys | 3 | 392 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2023 | Boys | 3 | 728 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2020 | Boys | 3 | 741 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2017 | Girls | 6 | 14124 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
| United States | 2025 | Boys | 480 | 597 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |

Supporting evidence: Cason: documented modern spelling group and multiple formation histories
Checked against cited source
Cason distinguishes English and Italian surname histories and allows a separate modern coinage explanation. These possibilities do not establish a single literal meaning for every Kason, and Kaisen is not silently merged with the listed Kaison spelling.
