Kashton is a modern American coinage that fits Cash or Kash with the -ton ending of Ashton and Braxton; it has no traditional meaning beyond the "cash" in its first syllable and the surname flavor of its ending. Together with Kason and Kayson it belongs to a wave of K-names that took off in the 2010s. Kashton was unknown in 2000, entered the top 1000 in 2015, peaked at number 378 in 2022 and ranks number 400 in 2025.
