Nasha is in Origin.

Nasha is a cross-cultural feminine given name with several etymologies. In Arabic and Urdu, nashā denotes joy or rapture, yielding a poetic sense of “ecstasy” or “delight” when used as a name. Hebrew speakers sometimes link Nasha to the root n‑sh‑h, the source of Menashe (“causing to forget”), giving the uplifting reading “to forget sorrow.” In Slavic contexts, Nasha can function as a clipped form of Natasha (from Natalia). Modern East African usage also appears, where community lore explains it as “born during the rainy season,” a nature-based interpretation rather than a strict linguistic derivation.

Usage spans the late 20th century onward in the Middle East, South Asia, Slavic diasporas, and parts of East Africa. Variants and related forms include Nashaa, Nashah, Naasha, and the Arabic Nashwa; see also Natasha, Tasha, and Menashe/Manasseh for cognate roots. Predominantly feminine, with nicknames like Nash or Nashi.
