What is the meaning of the name Sash ?

The baby name Sash is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /sæʃ/ ("sash").

Sash is Slavic in Origin.

Sash is a modern clipped form of Sasha, the Slavic pet name for Alexander or Alexandra. Derived from Russian Sasha (Саша), it ultimately traces back to Greek Alexandros, combining alexein "to defend" and aner/andros "man, person," yielding the meaning "defender" or "protector of the people." Used for all genders in Slavic languages, Sash retains that unisex character in contemporary English use.

As an independent given name, Sash appears in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century, favored for its succinct, stylish sound. It remains rare but familiar through the popularity of Sasha/Sacha worldwide. Variants and related forms include Sasha (standard), Sacha (French), Sascha (German), Sasa/Saša (South Slavic), and Zasha (modern English), with Alexander and Alexandra as the formal roots. In practice, Sash often functions as a nickname for any of these, while preserving the core sense of steadfast protection.
