Dashulya is a tender Russian–Ukrainian diminutive of Dasha, itself the familiar form of Daria/Darya (Дарья/Дарія). Daria descends from the Old Persian royal name Darius (Dārayavahuš), via Greek and Church Slavonic, meaning “to possess/hold the good” or “wealthy, maintaining possessions.” The suffix -ulya (-уля) marks warmth and intimacy, so Dashulya conveys affectionate closeness while keeping the core sense of “one who holds the good.”

Use across the Russian-speaking world dates to the Christian veneration of St. Daria of Rome (3rd century), which anchored Daria in East Slavic naming. While Dashulya is most common as a home or social nickname, some modern parents occasionally register it as the formal name. Related forms and variants include Daria, Darya, Dariya, Darja (Belarusian/Slavic), Dariia (Ukrainian), and pet names Dasha, Dashenka/Dashechka, Dashuta, Dashka, Daryusha/Daryushka.
