Cashman is a surname of Irish origin, associated particularly with Munster specifically from Counties Waterford, Cork and Kerry. The name can be traced back to the Old Kingdom's of Ireland in 1156AD in the Kingdom of "Deise Mhumhain" meaning South Munster. Its derivation is from the pre 10th century Gaelic O'Ciosain, a surname sometimes recorded as Kissane or Cussane. Although the precise translation is uncertain, the first name holder, the chief of the tribe, was probably the head tax collector for the area, the basic word "cios" means a tax or tribute, either that or the tribe lived by their own rules and "extracted" tributes from all who ventured onto their lands! The spelling as Cashman is an anglicization from the 16th century, and it does suggest that the name holders were aware of the original meaning of their name.
