History & Origin

Katasha is best read as a modern blend: the Kate/Katherine family, from Greek katharos, 'pure', crossed with Natasha, the Russian pet form of Natalia, from Latin natalis, 'birthday'. The result is a coined name carrying echoes of both.

It stayed genuinely rare, only a few dozen girls a year around its high near 1978, and reads as an of-its-era coinage rather than a traditional name. Its lilting sound has given it a small following.

Did you know? Natasha, the Russian short form of Natalia, was fashionable in the later twentieth century, and Katasha merges its music with the Kate family.
