Hasia is Hebrew in Origin.

Hasia is a Hebrew/Yiddish feminine name, most often linked to the Hebrew root ḥ-s (ḥas), associated with refuge or mercy, combined with the theophoric -yah (“Yahweh”). It is therefore commonly interpreted as “Yah is my refuge” or “God’s mercy.” Spelling and pronunciation vary with language: the initial sound may be rendered as H- or Ch- to reflect the guttural ḥet.

The name circulated widely in Ashkenazi Jewish communities of Eastern Europe and appears in 18th–20th‑century Yiddish name records; it persists, though uncommon, in modern Israel and the diaspora. Variants and transliterations include Chasia, Chasya, Chassia, Hasya, and Chasye/Hasye (Yiddish). Related forms sometimes pair it in double names (e.g., Chasya Leah). While rare in broader usage, it is recognized through bearers such as the historian Hasia Diner. Note that an unrelated Sanskrit homonym, Hāsya, means “laughter,” reflecting a separate linguistic tradition.
