Losah is in Origin.

Losah is a rare modern given name of uncertain origin, appearing in English-language use only in recent decades. With the gentle two-syllable pattern LO-sah and a biblical-style -ah ending, it reads as unisex, though use skews feminine. No medieval or scriptural bearers are documented.

Several etymologies are proposed. It may reflect the South Slavic word loza “vine; lineage,” yielding readings like “vine, family line.” In Spanish, losa means “stone; flagstone,” suggesting sturdiness; adding -h is a stylistic embellishment. Some also link it to Muskogean forms lusa/losa “black,” a connection that should be approached carefully and, when meaningful, confirmed within community usage. Creative coinage is common, so Losah can also be a phonetic blend of Lo- with -sha. Variants and near-forms include Losa, Loza, Lozah, Losha, and Losiah; meanings vary with the chosen root.
