Pasha Origin and Meaning

The name Pasha is a boy's name of Russian origin meaning "small, humble".

Similar in sound to Sasha, Pasha is a Russian diminutive of the name Pavel, itself a form of Paul. Also used as a title for a high ranking officer in the (now historical) Ottoman military, and as the common name of a type of butterfly, it is a name well-suited for an Easter baby, due to its similarity to the word Pascha.

Notable bearers of the name include dancer Pavel "Pasha" Kovalev, freerunner Pavel "Pasha" Petkuns, and singer and Eurovision representative, Pavel "Pasha" Parfeni.

Rarely used in the US, Pasha makes a cozy choice with international flair.
