What is the meaning of the name Tasha ?

The baby name Tasha is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TAH-shə.

Tasha is English, Latin, Russian in Origin.

Tasha is an English short form of Natasha, reflecting Russian Наташа (Natáša), the familiar diminutive of Наталья (Natalya). That name continues Late Latin Natalia, a feminine form tied to natalis, birth or birthday, and in Christian naming to dies natalis Domini, the Lord’s birthday. The literal sense behind the line is Christmas Day, rather than general joy.

In Russia, Natasha functioned as a household diminutive before entering English-language use as an independent given name; Tasha developed from that shortened form, especially in North America and Britain during the twentieth century. U.S. records show Tasha rising after the 1960s and peaking in the 1980s, later receding. Related forms include Natalya, Natalia, Natalie, Nathalie, Nataša, Natascha, and Belarusian Natallia. Public bearers such as illustrator Tasha Tudor and fictional Tasha Yar helped keep the form visible.
