"Traditional English name"
The name Cashmere is commonly a unisex name from the "English" origin.
Cashmere is the English word for the fine downy wool of the Kashmir goat, and the word comes from Kashmir, the Himalayan region. English dictionaries record the word in this sense, so the given name is a use of an ordinary English vocabulary word rather than a personal name carried over from an older naming tradition. The name is recorded in United States birth data from 1920 onward.
The pronunciation of Cashmere is KASH-meer.
