Cashton Origin and Meaning
The name Cashton is a boy's name meaning "money town; town of the box maker".
Color us surprised — Kashton is over four times more popular than Cashton. While the on-trend K spelling ranks in the US Top 500, Cashton lingers just outside the charts and is given to around 170 boys each year.
Made up of 'Cash' and the familiar -ton suffix, Cashton could mean "town on the box maker" if you look towards its Latin, occupational roots. Alternatively, it could mean "money town" if you draw on the more obvious association with English word "cash".
Perhaps it is for this reason then, that Kashton is the preferred option - for some, it might feel more like a name, than a flex of wealth.
