What is the meaning of the name Gosha ?

The baby name Gosha is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GOH-shuh.

Gosha is Greek, Russian in Origin.

Gosha is a Russian familiar form, written Гоша, most often attached to Georgiy or Georgy. The underlying name continues Greek Georgios, from geōrgos, farmer or earth-worker, a compound of gē, earth, and ergon, work. In Russian hypocoristic morphology, the stem is shortened and the affectionate ending -sha is added, producing a household form rather than an independent ancient name.

As a given name, Gosha belongs chiefly to Russian-speaking usage, where diminutives may appear in public life as stage names or informal bynames. Its associations ultimately link it to Saint George through Georgiy, though Gosha itself is not a liturgical form. Notable bearers include actor Gosha Kutsenko and designer Gosha Rubchinskiy. Related forms include Yegor, Georgiy, Polish Jerzy, and English George. Modern registration as a standalone name is uncommon.
