History & Origin

Tascha spells the nickname Tasha with a continental sch, matching how German and Slavic languages write the sh sound. Tasha trims Natasha, the Russian Natalia, whose root is the Latin for birthday and, by long custom, Christmas. The name rode the nineteen-seventies fondness for Russian short forms.

It stayed a small choice, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around 1972 and fading by the nineteen-nineties. A girl named Tascha then is in her fifties now.

Did you know? The parent name Natalia comes from the Latin for birthday and was long given to girls born at Christmas, the birthday, so Tascha carries a festive origin.
