History & Origin

Kashmeir is a modern respelling of Kashmir, the Himalayan region long famous for its valleys, its craft, and the fine fiber that took its name into English as cashmere. As a first name it is a recent American coinage rather than a traditional form, so we call the routes uncertain plainly, and we treat the place itself with respect (said 'KASH-meer').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, soft-sounding, and modern.

Did you know? Kashmir, the region behind this name, gave English the word cashmere — the fine wool combed from goats raised high in the mountains. The name is a real place, which we mention with respect.
