Origin
Meaning and history of Cashae
The given name Cashae is a relatively modern invention, likely originating in the late 20th century. It does not appear to have a direct linguistic origin or connection to any ancient languages or cultures. The name seems to be a creative combination of sounds and syllables, perhaps inspired by the names Cassia or Cassandra.
While the name Cashae itself does not have a long historical record, it may have been influenced by names with similar sounds or spellings. For instance, the name Cassia has roots in Latin and Greek, deriving from the plant name "cassia" which refers to a type of cinnamon. Cassandra was a prominent figure in Greek mythology, known as a prophet who was cursed to utter true prophecies that no one believed.
Given its novelty, there are no known historical references or appearances of the name Cashae in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records prior to the modern era. The earliest recorded examples of the name likely date back to the late 20th century or early 21st century.
As a relatively new name, there are not many famous individuals throughout history who have borne the name Cashae. However, here are a few notable people with this first name:
1. Cashae Monya, an American model and social media influencer born in the late 1990s.
2. Cashae Pryor, an American fashion designer and entrepreneur known for her clothing line "Pryor Cashae."
3. Cashae Maguire, a Canadian actress and model who has appeared in various television shows and commercials.
4. Cashae Caldwell, an American singer and songwriter who has released several independent albums.
5. Cashae Johnson, an American professional basketball player who has played in various international leagues.
While the name Cashae may not have a rich historical legacy, its unique sound and contemporary origin have contributed to its increasing popularity in recent decades. As a relatively new name, its cultural significance and potential impact on future generations remain to be seen.

FAQ
Cashae: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Cashae?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 74 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Cashae going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 4,631,815 US residents.
Is Cashae a common name?
We classify Cashae as "Very Rare". It ranks above 60.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 76 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Cashae most popular?
The single biggest year for Cashae was 1988, when 8 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Cashae is about 29 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Cashae in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Cashae a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Cashae in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Cashae still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Cashae in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Cashae can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
