Kashis is Hindi, Urdu in Origin.

Kashis is a contemporary, largely South Asian, unisex name that draws on Sanskrit and modern Hindi roots. It most directly references Kāśī (Kashi), the ancient name of Varanasi and an epithet meaning “luminous, shining,” from the Sanskrit root kāś “to shine.” In Hindu literature, Kāśī appears as a sacred city closely associated with Shiva; as a personal name, Kashi has long-standing but regional use. The form Kashis surfaces in the late 20th–21st century, paralleling the popularity of Kashish.

Depending on the intended source, Kashis conveys “radiance” (via Kashi) or “attraction, charm” (via Kashish in Urdu/Hindi). Variant spellings include Kashi, Kaashi, Kashish, Kaashish, and Kaashis; related short forms include Kash. Usage is currently rare but growing in India and its diaspora, often chosen for its soft sound and positive meanings. Some also interpret it as a creative, phonetic spin on classical Cassius, though this is secondary.
