Gosha Origin and Meaning

The name Gosha is a boy's name.

Gosha is a masculine name with Slavic origins, particularly popular in Poland and Russia. It functions as a diminutive form of longer names such as Georgy, Grigori, or Gottfried. The name has a warm, friendly quality with its soft consonants and open ending. In Polish contexts, it's pronounced with a harder 'g' (GOH-sha), while Russian speakers might use a softer 'g' sound. Despite its diminutive origins, Gosha often stands as an independent given name in modern usage. The name carries a youthful energy while remaining suitable for all ages. Outside Slavic countries, Gosha offers an uncommon yet accessible option for parents seeking a name with international character and a contemporary feel.
