Kashmira meaning
Kashmira (काश्मीरा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, का, it is a Mithun rashi name (Mrigashira nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Of or from Kashmir; (kāśmīrā) a kind of grape
Kashmira (काश्मीरा) comes from Sanskrit kāśmīra, which Monier-Williams gives as "born in or coming from Kashmir"; as a noun it is the country itself and, in the neuter, saffron, the region's famous crop. The feminine kāśmīrā is recorded as a kind of grape. Name lists give "from Kashmir", and some add "the beauty of Kashmir", a poetic modern reading. The name carries the valley's associations of mountains, lakes and saffron fields.
