History & Origin

Dazha most often represents Dasha, the Russian diminutive of Daria, whose ancient root carries the sense of possessing goodness. Written with a zh to capture the soft Russian sound, it also appears as an independent American coinage, and it reached a modest high in the mid nineteen-nineties.

The name was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, and its run was brief. A girl named Dazha at that high is in her early thirties today. It offers a soft, unusual sound with a plausible Slavic backstory.

Did you know? Dasha, the name behind Dazha, is a warm Russian nickname for Daria, much as Katya is for Katherine, and its root traces back to old Persian royalty.
