Meaning & Origin
A female given name, from Russian, Ukrainian Даша, diminutive of Darja (Дарья or Дар'я).
Dasha is a girl's baby name of Russian origin, a Russian diminutive of Daria (Dарья), from the Old Persian Dārayavahush meaning 'possessing goodness' or 'kingly.' In Russia, Dasha is a widely used pet name that has taken on a life of its own as a full given name.
About 4,045 U.S. births are recorded. Dasha has a bright, Slavic charm — crisp and friendly, with the warmth of a nickname that feels entirely complete on its own.
