It is an Arabic name - and it is pronounced Kay-san - in arabic it is spelled (romanized) Kaf-ya-seen-Alif-nun
To my knowledge its popularity is derived from a prophetic tradition from the prophet Muhammad wherein another derivation of the root form is used.
My appologies in not being able to answer any further, or in future, however I only came across this site by chance during a search and thought to answer your posting.
Take care,
Kaysan
