Stasha

Stasha is a feminine name with Slavic origins, primarily functioning as a diminutive of Anastasia or Stanislava. In Slavic naming traditions, particularly Russian and Serbian, Stasha emerges as an affectionate nickname that eventually gained usage as an independent given name. The name carries a bright, spunky quality with its concise two-syllable structure and gentle 'sh' sound. While not widely common in English-speaking countries, Stasha offers a fresh alternative to more popular diminutives like Stacy or Ana. The name experienced modest usage in the United States during the late 20th century but never reached high popularity rankings. Stasha blends Eastern European heritage with contemporary appeal, attractive to parents seeking a name that's recognizable yet distinctive.

Pronounced STAH-shuh.

As of October 2026, Stasha ranked #16301 in US births in 2013 SSA, peaked at #2588 in 1988.
