Lasha is Georgian in Origin.
Of Georgian origin, Lasha (ლაშა) derives from an Abkhaz root a-lasha meaning "light, brightness," giving the name connotations of radiance and guidance. It entered Georgian usage in the medieval era and gained prominence through King George IV, known as Lasha Giorgi (early 13th century), whose epithet reinforced the name’s prestige during Georgia’s Golden Age. The name remains widely used for men in Georgia and among the Caucasian diaspora, while staying uncommon elsewhere.
Spelling is relatively stable in Latin script as Lasha; scholarly or language-specific renderings include Laša (with š for "sh"), Lasza (Polish), and Laşa (Turkish/Azeri). The meaning aligns with other "light" names such as Lucius or Svetlana, though Lasha is unrelated to them. It is also distinct from Tibetan Lhasa and from the biblical toponym Lasha (Genesis 10:19), which are etymologically separate.
