History & Origin
Nasha looks like a clipped form of Natasha, the Russian pet form of Natalia from the Latin natalis, birthday. Trimmed to two beats, it appeared for American girls only faintly, around 1993.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at most. A girl named Nasha at that high would be in her early thirties today. Short and soft, it fits the taste for streamlined names but has stayed rare.
