Sascha is in Origin.
Sascha is the German spelling of Sasha, the Slavic diminutive of Alexander/Alexandra. From Greek Alexandros (alexein "to defend" + aner/andros "man"), it means "defender" or "protector of people." In Russian (Саша) it functions as a unisex nickname for Aleksandr and Aleksandra and often stands on its own as a given name. The German form Sascha entered wider use through contacts with Russia and Eastern Europe.
In German-speaking countries Sascha rose in the late 20th century and tends to be masculine there, while Sasha/Sacha are common elsewhere and widely unisex. Notable bearers include German tennis coach Sascha Bajin and footballer Sascha Riether. International variants: Sasha (English/Russian transliteration), Sacha (French), Saša (South Slavic), Sasza (Polish). Pet forms include Sash and Sashy. The name’s cross-cultural familiarity and gentle sound keep it steadily fashionable.
