    Aya Cash Facts

  • She has explained that her surname “Cash” had originally been something like “Chirsch”.
  • Aya has revealed that while growing up, she used to devour junk food in huge quantities and it was not until she was 22 years old and freshly graduated from college that she had voluntarily chosen to place a piece of lettuce in her mouth, upon which she had discovered that she actually did not dislike the taste.
  • She has disclosed that she had got a hawk etched on her back as she had been informed that Aya means “hawk” in Hebrew. However, on a trip to Israel later on, she came to know that her name is an archaic word for “hawk” but that it is the modern word for “honey buzzard” that is another bird of prey.
