Pronounced LAH-shuh /ˈlɑː.ʃə/Medium
Meaning: Lasha is a modern coined girls' name, formed with the La- prefix and a soft -sha ending, in the family of Latasha and Kiesha. As a separate matter the identical spelling is a Georgian (Caucasus) boys' name; the American girls' name is best read as a coinage of its era.Low

History & Origin
Lasha is a modern coined name, built from the popular La- prefix and a gentle -sha ending, closely tied to Latasha and the -sha family. It reads as a pared-down, melodic coinage of its era. Worth noting only as an aside: the same letters spell an unrelated Georgian boys' name in the Caucasus; the American girls' name here is the coinage.
The name crested around 1991 among a cluster of La- and -sha coinages before easing back to rarity. It reads as a soft product of its moment, and a Lasha today shares a light, minimal name genuinely of the late nineteen-eighties and early nineties.
