Cashen is a unique, unisex given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the Irish surname Cashin, which is believed to have been an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó eacháin. The name means "descendant of eachán," with Eachán being a personal name of unknown meaning. Cashen is relatively rare and has gained some popularity in recent years as parents seek distinctive names for their children. It does not rank among the most popular names in any English-speaking country, making it a compelling choice for those who wish to give their child an uncommon name.
The name Cashen experienced fluctuations over the given years, with a notable spike in popularity between 2009 and 2010, followed by a decrease thereafter until 2020 when it stabilized again at five births annually.
