Morasha is a modern Hebrew given name derived from the biblical noun morashah (מוֹרָשָׁה), meaning “heritage,” “inheritance,” or “legacy.” It stems from the Semitic root Y-R-Sh, “to inherit.” The word appears in Deuteronomy 33:4 - “Torah tzivah lanu Moshe, morashah kehillat Ya’akov” (“Moses commanded us the Torah, a heritage for the congregation of Jacob”) - embedding the name with connotations of tradition, continuity, and treasured transmission across generations. Grammatically feminine in Hebrew, it is most often used for girls.

As a given name, Morasha gained currency in late 20th- and 21st-century Israel, especially among families drawn to biblically resonant, value-laden names; it remains uncommon in the diaspora. Variants and transliterations include Morashah and Morasha; closely related forms are Moreshet (מוֹרֶשֶׁת, “legacy”) and the synonym Yerusha/Yerushah.
