Chasija is in Origin.

Chasija is a South Slavic and Central/Eastern European transliteration of the Hebrew–Yiddish female name Chasya/Chassia (Hebrew: חסיה), in which j represents the y sound. The name derives from the Hebrew root chesed, “kindness, mercy,” combined with the theophoric element -yah (“the Lord”), yielding meanings such as “Yah’s kindness” or “God has shown mercy.”

It was widely used among Ashkenazi Jews across Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, and the Balkans from the 18th through the early 20th century, appearing in synagogue and civil registers; migration carried it to North America and Israel, where it is now rare but sometimes chosen to honor family heritage. Documented variants include Chasya, Chasia, Chassia, Chasye, Hasya, Hasia, Khasya/Khasye (Russian/Yiddish), and Bosnian/Serbo‑Croatian Hasija/Chasija. Informal nicknames include Hasi and Hasye. Cognate concept-names in Hebrew include Chesed and Rachamim, though these are semantically related rather than true variants.
