Sashana Origin and Meaning

The name Sashana is a girl's name.

Sashana is a feminine name with multicultural influences. It may be a variant of Sasha (itself a diminutive of Alexander/Alexandra, meaning 'defender of mankind') with a melodic '-ana' suffix that adds femininity and flow. The name has particular usage in Caribbean communities, especially Jamaica, where it might reflect the region's fusion of African, European, and indigenous naming traditions. Sashana has a rhythmic quality that feels contemporary yet substantial. While not among the most common names, it has maintained steady if modest usage since the late 20th century. Parents might choose Sashana for its international appeal, pleasant sound pattern, and the way it balances familiarity with distinctiveness.
