The village name 'Kashida' (written as "樫田") was named as the combination of 'kashi' (樫), the letter from the name of Kashifune-jinja shrine (樫船神社) in the area, and 'da' (田), the letter from the name of Tano Village (田能村) which was one of the villages to merge into Kashida Village.
地域にある樫船神社の「樫」と、母体となった村の一つ・田能村の「田」を組み合わせて「樫田」の村名が名付けられた。
