Kash

Kash is a masculine given name and an occasional surname used in various parts of the world. In English-language contexts, Kash is often adopted as a standalone name, valued for its short, modern sound. In other traditions it can function as a diminutive or nickname for longer names such as Kashif, Kashton, Kaushik, or other phonologically similar names, though there is no single authoritative origin for the name. Because the spelling is unconventional, it is sometimes chosen for branding or personal style rather than inherited meaning.

In popular culture, Kash appears as a personal name for fictional characters and as a stage name for performers. The form Kash is also used in slang to represent money, often spelled as “kash” or “kash” in stylized branding, echoing the word cash.

As a surname, Kash occurs infrequently and tends to appear in diverse linguistic regions where transliteration from non-Latin scripts is involved. The name’s distribution is thus broad but not tied to a specific ethnic origin in a definitive way.

Overall, Kash remains a contemporary name choice with meanings largely defined by individual bearers rather than a fixed historical etymology. Its versatility as a given name, nickname, or branding term contributes to its ongoing use in modern naming practices.
