What is the meaning of the name Lash ?

The baby name Lash is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /læʃ/ (LASH).

Lash is English in Origin.

Lash is a modern unisex given name drawn from an English surname and common noun. As a surname, Lash/Lasch is found in England and Germany; English sources trace it to Middle English lasch/lasche “loose, slack,” used as a nickname, or possibly to someone who worked with whips or made lashings. German Lasch may derive from Slavic personal names or from Middle High German lasch “lax, weak.” The noun lash carries layered imagery of “eyelash” (suggesting beauty and protection) as well as “whip/strike” (energy and snap).

In given-name use, Lash is rare in the U.S. and Britain, sometimes a clipped form of Lasha (Georgian “light, brightness”) or of Lashawn/Lashaun. Pop‑culture visibility comes from Western film star Lash LaRue. Variants and related forms include Lasha, Lasch, Lashley (surname), and elaborations Lashae/Lashay. Lasch is most common in German contexts; Lasha is traditional in Georgia.
