About the name Cash

Cash comes from an English surname with roots in Old French casse, meaning ‘box’ or ‘case’. It originally described a person who made boxes and chests, or one who kept a money box, the same root that gave English the word cash for ready money. The surname is borne by the country singer Johnny Cash, whose fame encouraged its use as a first name in the United States. The film producer Cash Warren is a real-life bearer of the given name, and Kash is an alternative spelling.
