History & Origin

Kashmyr is a Y-spelled modern take on Kashmir, the Himalayan region that gave English the word cashmere. Place names have long crossed into first-name use, but this spelling is a recent American invention with no inherited line. Routes uncertain, which we note, and the region itself we treat with respect (said 'KASH-meer').

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

Did you know? Kashmyr rewrites Kashmir with a Y — a modern flourish on the name of a Himalayan region famous for its valleys and its soft wool. The place is real, which we mention with respect.
