Meaning & origin
Lasha is a name with possible Slavic and Georgian roots, first recorded in the U.S. in 1966. Its peak year of usage was 1991, though it has never ranked in the top 1000. The name remains relatively rare, with a stable trajectory since its peak. Lasha is most commonly given to girls in the U.S., though in Georgia it can be masculine. The name has not been associated with any top states in recent data.
Lasha may be a Georgian diminutive of names beginning with 'La-', or a Russian pet form of Larisa. In Georgian, 'lasha' (ლაშა) means 'light, bright' or is associated with 'lamb', though its exact derivation is uncertain. The name has seen occasional use in the United States since the mid-20th century.
