What is the meaning of the name Pasza ?

The baby name Pasza is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈpaʃa/ (PAH-shah).

Pasza is Slavic in Origin.

Pasza is the Polish-based spelling of Pasha, the East Slavic familiar form of Pavel/Paweł (Paul). Rooted in Latin Paulus via Greek Paulos, it carries the meaning small, humble. Used widely as a cozy nickname across Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, it has also been adopted as an independent given name since the 20th century, especially in émigré and multicultural contexts. Literary and colloquial records show steady informal use, with formal documents more often preferring the full Pavel or Paweł.

Variant spellings include Pasha (common English transliteration), Paša (South Slavic, Baltic), and Pasza (Polish conventions); related full forms are Pavel, Pavlo, Pawel/Paweł, and Paul. Do not confuse Pasza/Pasha with Turkish Paşa, the Ottoman title, nor with Pascha/Paska, the Easter term and dessert - etymologically separate despite similar sound. Nickname forms such as Pashka and Pashenka appear in Russian. Overall, Pasza offers a warm, traditional Slavic twist on the classic Paul.
