Unknown; possibly a modern American creation
Kashana is a rare contemporary name with no singular, established etymological root. It likely emerged in the United States as a rhythmic, phonetic invention, possibly influenced by names like Keisha, Shawna, or the Sanskrit name Kashana (meaning 'rubbing' or 'testing'), though its usage in the West is primarily stylistic.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Kashana in 2025.
