Cashel is Irish in Origin.
Cashel is an Irish given name derived from the Gaelic Caiseal (Old Irish caisel), meaning “stone fort” or “ringfort.” The word names the drystone fortifications that dot the Irish and Scottish landscape, and it appears widely in toponyms - most famously the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary, medieval seat of the kings of Munster and a site linked with St. Patrick. As a place-name and common noun, it is recorded from early medieval texts onward.
As a personal name, Cashel saw modern adoption in the Anglophone world in the late 20th century, aligning with the fashion for Irish place names and heritage choices. Variants and related forms include the Irish Caiseal, the anglicized surname Cashell, and occasional spelling Cashell as a given name. Nicknames Cash and Cass are common. The name’s meaning conveys solidity, protection, and a rooted sense of home.
