Asah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Asah

What is the meaning of the name Asah ?

The baby name Asah is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AH-sah (ˈɑːsə); also commonly pronounced AY-suh (ˈeɪsə).

Asah is Hebrew in Origin.

Asah is most often a phonetic spelling of the biblical name Asa, borne by a righteous king of Judah. In that tradition the name is understood as "healer" or "physician." Because asah is also the common Hebrew verb "to do, make," some modern bearers interpret Asah as "maker" or "doer," lending it a craftsman, get-things-done feel. The name is used for all genders today, prized for its short, vowel-led sound.

Asah appears in English records via Asa from the Puritan era onward, and it surfaces in African and diasporic communities where similar forms carry meaning: in Igbo, Asa means "beautiful," and in Japanese, Asa means "morning" (compare Asahi, "morning sun"). Variants and related forms include Asa, Asaah/Asa'ah (West African spellings), and, by association, Asahi or Asaf/Asaph (distinct Hebrew names with different roots).
