Cashius is Latin in Origin.

Cashius is a modern English respelling of Cassius, the ancient Roman family name. The root is usually linked to Latin cassus, meaning “hollow” or “empty,” though some scholars point to an Etruscan source with uncertain meaning. The Cash- opening also resonates with the everyday word “cash,” giving the name a crisp, contemporary sound and a built-in nickname.

Usage grows out of the long history of Cassius - borne by the conspirator Gaius Cassius Longinus in Roman history, a few early saints, and a memorable figure in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar - and was renewed in the public eye by boxer Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali). Cashius emerged in late 20th-century U.S. naming as parents sought an edgier route to Cash.
