Cashton

Cashton is a modern name shaped from Cash and the familiar -ton ending. That ending appears in many English surnames and place names, where it historically refers to a settlement, but adding it to a new name does not automatically create an old place-name meaning. “Money town” and “town of the box maker” are speculative constructions rather than established translations.

Cash is the most natural everyday shortening, and Kashton offers a closely related spelling with a K. Cashton may appeal to parents who like the compact sound of Cash but want a two-syllable complete name. Its resemblance to Ashton is another sound connection to consider, although the two names should not be treated as having an identical documented history.
