Meaning & origin
Kasmira entered U.S. birth records in 1976, a time when parents began experimenting with inventively spelled names. It reached its peak in 1995, the most common year for the name, though it has never been widespread. The name has remained stable in use, never surging or falling dramatically. Kasmira did not appear in any top states during its limited use, suggesting scattered adoption across the country. As a modern coinage with no deep historical roots, its appeal lies in its melodic sound and resemblance to familiar names like Casimir or the region Kashmir. The name fits a broader trend of feminine names ending in -ira, such as Mira or Zira, that gained a niche following in the late 20th century.
Kasmira first appeared in U.S. records in 1976, possibly as a creative respelling of Kashmir (the Himalayan region) or as a variant of Cassandra or Casimir. It fits a pattern of feminine names ending in -ira that gained modest use in the 1990s. The name has no established meaning in English and is best understood as a modern coinage.
