Sasha is a name which originated among Slavic peoples from Eastern and Southern Europe[citation needed] as the shortened version of Alexander and Alexandra. It is also used as a surname, although very rarely.

Usage

[edit]

This name is especially common in Europe, where it is used by both females and males as a diminutive of Alexandra and Alexander, respectively. Despite its popularity in informal usage, the name is rarely recorded on birth certificates in countries such as Belarus, the Czech Republic, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine, as it is considered a diminutive, not a formal name. Exceptions are Croatia, Germany, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Switzerland. [citation needed]

In Italy or in French-speaking regions (Belgium, France,[2] and Quebec[3]), Sacha is more often given to males.[4] In the United States the name is almost exclusively used for girls and ranked number 569 among U.S. baby names in 2014, although it didn't gain popularity until the 1970s.[5]
