Kashyap was one of the eight original gotras (clans) of the Brahmins, being derived from Kashyapa, the name of a rishi (hermit) whom they believed to have heard the Veda. The Brahmanical clan system was later emulated by people who were considered to be of the Rajput-Kshatriya status, and is perhaps an early example of the sanskritisation process whereby ritually lower-ranked groups sought to improve their social status. In more recent times, the All-India Kashyap Rajput Mahasabha pressure group was established prior to the 1941 census of British India to lobby the census authorities to record the caste as Kashyap Rajput rather than by any other name.
