Sosha

Sosha is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Sasha (which itself is a diminutive of Alexander or Alexandra), or it could derive from the Yiddish name Sosha, a form of Shoshana (meaning 'lily' or 'rose'). The name has a gentle, flowing quality with its soft consonants and balanced syllables. Sosha remains quite rare in English-speaking countries, giving it an exotic appeal while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce. The name carries a subtle cross-cultural quality, potentially resonating with Eastern European, Jewish, or Slavic heritage. Its uncommon nature makes it appealing for parents seeking something distinctive yet melodic.

Pronounced SAH-shuh.
