History & Origin

Shasha is a short, doubled name that also reads as a spin on the popular Sasha. It stayed rare, touching a small high around 1988.

Given to only about twenty girls a year at most, it appeared thinly into the two-thousands. A girl named Shasha at that peak would be in her mid-thirties today. Its repeating syllables make it warm and easy to say.

Did you know? Shasha echoes Sasha, the Russian pet form of Alexander and Alexandra meaning defender of the people, while its repeating shape gives it a gentle, singsong quality of its own.
