Shacha is in Origin.

Shacha is an uncommon modern given name, most often treated as a phonetic or stylistic variant of Sasha/Sacha, the Slavic diminutive of Alexander/Alexandra. In that lineage it ultimately goes back to Greek Alexandros, from alexein “to defend” and aner “man,” yielding the sense “defender” or “protector.” Usage is typically unisex. While Sasha/Sacha spread widely across Eastern and Western Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, Shacha appears only sporadically in contemporary records, usually in communities that favor inventive spellings.

Because it resembles several transliterations, some also associate Shacha with Hebrew shachah “to bow” or with the Hebrew name Shachar/Shahar “dawn,” though these links are interpretive rather than standard etymologies; it also echoes Sanskrit Shachi in form. Variants and related forms include Sasha, Sacha, Sascha, Shasha, Shachar/Shahar, and, at root, Alexander and Alexandra. Meaning is most commonly given as “defender/protector.”
