The term Posh was used as a street name for money all the way back in the 18th century, and in today’s world, it has a strong upper-class connotation, where the term usually refers to richness, class, and sophistication but also snobbiness as well.

While the word was used for several similar yet still different reasons, the association with the ability to spend money was always there, and we can easily imagine such high-class people enjoying themselves and having the time of their lives.

When we talk about posh, we usually refer to money, wealth, stylish clothing, elegance, and noble-like behavior, where the term has been used for more than 200 years, and while its meaning has somewhat changed over time it was always alluding to the higher class, in one way or another. Think about the time and the world the characters lives in, what could be considered posh then and there, where and how was the character raised, what personality they have today, and think of a name worthy of the sophistication and splendor that follows their every step.
