Casha is a rare modern given name found chiefly in English-speaking countries, with sporadic use appearing from the late 20th century. It often serves as a creative feminine elaboration of the surname-turned-given name Cash, though it also arises as a phonetic respelling in several traditions. Common pronunciations include KAH-shuh and KAY-shuh.

Several linguistic paths yield different meanings. As a spelling aligned with Polish Kasia (a familiar form of Katarzyna/Catherine), it inherits the Greek-Latin sense “pure.” As an alternative spelling of Cassia (Latin from Greek kassia), it carries the fragrant “cinnamon” meaning; that form is frequently pronounced KASH-uh in English. In some cases it shortens Acacia (Greek akakia), evoking the acacia tree and its “thorny/pointed” etymology and symbolic innocence.
