History & Origin

Kashka most plausibly reflects Kaska, the Polish affectionate form of Katarzyna, the Polish Katherine, from Greek 'katharos' meaning 'pure.' It could also be a modern coinage that simply likes the crisp, doubled sound. We give both routes honestly and note the uncertainty.

It surfaced only around 1977 and never rose above roughly sixteen girls that year. That makes it a brief late-seventies rarity rather than an established name.

Did you know? Kashka has a distinctly Slavic ring, recalling the Polish nickname Kaska for Katarzyna; in the United States it is a genuine rarity, appearing only around 1977.
