Everything about Sasha Name totally explained
Sasha is a male and female
given name. It originates as a diminutive version of the
Greek names
Alexander and
Alexandra. This form is especially common in
Russia and surrounding countries. Although in
Eastern Europe this name is predominantly given to male children, elsewhere, female children are also given the name. In
Germany, for example, the civil registry offices only allow the inscription of
Sascha for male children in the birth certificates. In the
United States though, the name is almost exclusively used for female children, at number 369 in the ranking of US baby names, although it didn't gain popularity until the 1970s. It is also found as a
surname, although this is very rare. In the early period of
Zionism, the name was common among male
Jews in
Ottoman- and
British-ruled
Palestine, reflecting the East European origin of many pioneers. It became less common in 1950s and 1960s
Israel, but revived with the new waves of immigration from the
Soviet Union in the 1970s and the larger wave in the 1990s.
