History & Origin

Asjah is a modern respelling of Asia, the continent name that caught on as a girls' name in the 1980s and 1990s. The sj-and-h spelling is stylistic, echoing Aja; the name and meaning trace to Greek Asia, an old term for the eastern lands. It was among the rarest Asia spellings.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around 2003. A girl named Asjah then is in her twenties now, from the peak of Asia-style names.

Did you know? Asia, the source of Asjah, comes from an ancient Greek word once used for the lands east of the Aegean.
