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.

Sweet and soft but outdoorsy too, Pasha could make an interesting alternative to Sasha. Typically used as a diminutive for Russian male names like Pavel, it has also been used for the feminine name Praskovya. 
 
In Turkish, it may be linked to the word paşa meaning "well-behaved, good behaviour" or associated with the title of a high-ranking Ottoman military officer. The Charaxes jasius butterfly is better known as the two-tailed pasha, giving the name a nature connection too. 
 
As a feminine name, it has appeared in the short story The Chorus Girl by Anton Chekov and in the 2009 film, Whip It, while a real-life bearer is Finnish-Russian model and influencer Praskovia "Pasha" Pozdniakova (also known as MissParaskeva). 
 
Familiar yet rare in the US, Pasha offers an international flair with a cozy, approachable vibe. It could even work as a subtle honor for a family Paul, Paula, or Pauline.
