What does Sasha mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Russian and Ukrainian

Sasha began as a Russian and Ukrainian nickname for Alexander, a name built from Greek elements meaning "to defend" and "man," together read as "defender of the people." Over time it grew into a name in its own right, used across Slavic cultures for both boys and girls.

Sasha has a crisp, confident sound with an international edge. It suits a pet with a bold, watchful streak as easily as one who's simply sharp and clever.
