Meaning & origin

Casha is a modern name that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security records in 1978, a late 20th-century invention. Its peak year was 1993, when it reached its highest recorded usage, though it never ranked among the top names. Since then, its trajectory has been stable but very low. The name's origins are unclear; it may draw from Cassia or Casimir, but it is most likely a creative modern coinage. With no strong ties to a particular culture or language, Casha offers a fresh, open-ended identity for a girl.

Casha is a modern name first recorded in the United States in 1978. Its origins are unclear; it may be a variant of Cassia (from the cinnamon-like spice, of Greek and Latin origin) or a feminine form of the Slavic name Casimir (meaning 'to command peace'). However, it is most likely a modern invention, perhaps influenced by the fashionable -sha ending. Since the 1990s it has seen sporadic use, peaking in 1993 but never entering the top 1,000 names.
