Zaschia is in Origin.

Zaschia is a rare, contemporary elaboration of the Slavic nickname Sasha (Sascha/Sacha), ultimately derived from Alexander/Alexandra. The prefixed Z- and feminine -ia ending give it a modern sparkle and may also echo Polish Zosia, a pet form of Zofia/Sophia. Depending on which root you favor, its meaning can be read as “defender/protector of mankind” (from Greek Alexandros) or “wisdom” (from Greek Sophia). Common pronunciations include ZASH-uh and zah-SHEE-uh.

Usage appears sporadically from the late 20th century onward in Europe and North America, typically chosen for its distinctive look while remaining connected to familiar Slavic and Greek naming traditions. Variants and near-forms include Zashia, Zascha, Zashya, Zasia, and Zasha; related standards are Sasha, Sacha, and Sascha, along with Zosia and Zofia/Sophia. Unisex in concept through the Sasha lineage, Zaschia is most often styled as feminine in contemporary contexts.
