The Cassion surname comes from the Irish Gaelic Mac Caisín, or O Caisín.

Early Origins of the Cassion family

The surname Cassion was first found in Munster, where they held a family seat as Chiefs of the Dalcassian race. Irish history, after the Norman Conquest of England, was strongly influenced by the invasion of Strongbow in 1172. Many Irish clanns, sept names were intermixed and family groupings became almost indistinguishable.
