History & Origin

Kashmire respells Kashmir, the Himalayan region whose name English borrowed for cashmere, the fine wool of mountain goats. As a first name it is a modern American coinage with no older line, so we call the routes uncertain plainly and treat the place itself with respect (said 'KASH-meer').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, smooth, and modern.

Did you know? The word cashmere came into English straight from Kashmir, where fine goat wool was combed and woven into famously soft shawls. Kashmire borrows that softness, with routes we note as uncertain.
