Kashiya is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Kashiya is a cross-cultural given name with several plausible roots. In Sanskrit, Kāśīya means “of Kashi/Varanasi,” so the name can denote connection to the sacred city. It may also reflect the Hebrew Keziah (Qetsiah), meaning “cassia” or “cinnamon,” a spice name borne by one of Job’s daughters. In Slavic contexts it can echo Kasia, the Polish pet form of Katarzyna (Catherine), linked to the meaning “pure.”

Usage today is eclectic: Kashiya appears in South Asia and the diaspora via the Sanskrit adjective adopted as a personal name, and in English-speaking communities as a modern respelling within the Keziah/Keisha family. Variants and related forms include Kashia, Kasiya, Kaashiya, Kashi, Keziah/Kezia, Keshia/Keisha, and Kasia; possible nicknames are Kashi and Kash. The name is typically feminine in Hebrew and Polish traditions but can be unisex in South Asian use.
