Cachet is a unique and distinctive given name of French origin, derived from the word 'cache', which means 'to hide' or 'to conceal'. This name has been popularized by its usage in English-speaking countries as an alternative to more common names like Charlotte or Chastity. Cachet is often associated with elegance, mystery, and refinement, reflecting its French roots and the cachet it carries as a less conventional choice.

It has no established nicknames or diminutives but can be shortened to Cache for an informal option. Cachet is not particularly popular, which contributes to its exclusivity and uniqueness. Parents who choose this name often do so because they appreciate its rarity and European flair.
