Lashi is a modern cross-cultural given name with multiple roots. In Georgian contexts, it is often treated as a variant or affectionate form of Lasha (ლაშა), a historic masculine name borne by 13th-century king Giorgi IV “Lasha.” Lasha is explained as deriving from Abkhaz/Abazin sources meaning “light, bright, clear,” lending Lashi the associated sense of radiance. While Lasha is traditionally male, Lashi sees unisex use in contemporary naming.

In Southeast Asia, Lashi is also the English name for the Maru/Lashi people and their Burmish language (Myanmar and Yunnan), which sometimes inspires the given name in diaspora communities; here it functions as a cultural-honorific choice rather than a semantic one. Similar-sounding names - Tashi (Tibetan “auspicious”) and Lasha - are listed alongside Lashi, though they have distinct origins. Variants and spellings include Lasha and Lashi; short forms like Lash occur. The name remains rare but globally legible.
