Chasya is a Hebrew- and Yiddish-rooted feminine name deriving from the verb chasah, “to take refuge, seek shelter,” combined with the theophoric element -yah (“the Lord”).

In Yiddish it is commonly pronounced with a guttural kh sound.

The name is documented across Ashkenazi communities of Eastern Europe and appears frequently in 18th–20th-century Jewish civil and communal records, often in double-name pairings such as Chasya Rochel or Chasya Rivka. It traveled with immigrants to North America, the UK, and later Israel, where it remains uncommon but recognizable, especially in Orthodox and Hasidic circles and among families seeking heritage names. Variants and transliterations include Chasiah/Chassia, Chasiya, Hasya/Hasia, Chasye/Hasye (Yiddish), and Chasia in Polish-influenced records; diminutives like Chasi or Hasye also occur.
