What is the meaning of the name Kashmira ?

The baby name Kashmira is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kash-MEER-uh.

Kashmira is Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu in Origin.

Kashmira is a feminine given name based on Sanskrit Kāśmīra, the classical Indic name for Kashmir. The earliest recoverable form is this Sanskrit toponym, found in epic and Puranic geographical lists for a northern Himalayan country. As a personal name, Kashmira is best read literally as Kashmir or woman of Kashmir; the final -a reflects modern Indo-Aryan feminine naming rather than a separate root. Traditional links with the sage Kaśyapa are not secure historical etymology.

Usage is chiefly Indian and South Asian diaspora, especially in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, and Urdu-speaking settings where regional names become given names. It also appears among Parsis in India. Kashmeera and Kasmira are transliteration variants, not separate etymologies. In the United States, SSA records show only occasional registrations; contemporary visibility is helped by Indian-American author Kashmira Sheth.
