Cache is an unconventional yet captivating given name of French origin, meaning 'hidden' or 'concealed'. It is derived from the Old French word 'caché', which translates to 'hidden' in English. This name has gained popularity recently due to its unique sound and association with technology terms like cache memory in computing. Cache is often used as a nickname for longer names, such as Cachet or Cacharel, but it can also stand alone as a distinctive first name choice.
The name Cache experienced significant popularity from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, peaking at 49 births in 1996. However, it has since declined and has seen fewer than 15 births per year for most of the 21st century, with recent years showing a steady decrease, reaching a low of 5 births in 2021.
