History & Origin
Cashay is a contemporary coinage valued for its sleek, French-flavored sound, joining a Ca- opening to a -shay ending. Names built this way let parents craft something that felt elegant and entirely their own.
It appears in United States records from the late nineteen-eighties and reached its small peak in the late nineteen-nineties before easing off, always scarce. A woman named Cashay from that peak is now in her late twenties, a name of the millennial coinage wave.
