Meaning & origin
Cashmir is a modern respelling of the Slavic classic Casimir, first recorded for U.S. boys in 2010. Its rank on the Social Security list for 2025 is 5,608, translating to a 1-in-106,755 probability of selection. After reaching a peak rank of 5,608 (a coincidence; the actual peak year was 2022), usage has been falling since 2022. The name has not registered significant popularity in any single state. Its appeal lies in its fashionable 'Cash' prefix and the solid historical backing of Casimir, which has connections to Polish royalty and saints. Parents attracted to both contemporary sounds and traditional roots may find Cashmir a distinctive choice that bridges centuries of use.
Cashmir is a modern respelling of Casimir, a name of Slavic origin derived from the elements 'kaziti' (to proclaim) and 'miru' (peace), thus 'proclaimer of peace'. Casimir was borne by several Polish saints and rulers, and the variant Cashmir has emerged in English-speaking countries since the early 21st century.
