Cassius
Pronounced KASH-us
boy
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Cassius does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Hollow; Empty vessel; Vain", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Cassius.

Cassius is the empty vessel — and God fills empty vessels to overflowing. 'And Elisha said unto her, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.' Cassius is emptied so God can fill him.
