Unknown; possibly derived from the Innu musical duo
The name Kashtin gained recognition primarily through the Canadian Innu folk-rock duo of the same name, formed in 1984. In the Innu-aimun language, the word translates to 'tornado' or 'whirlwind'. As a given name in the United States, it is a modern invention likely influenced by the popularity of names like Ashton and Karson.
