Meaning and background

The story behind Ahsoka

Ahsoka is closely associated with Ahsoka Tano, the Togruta character introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Lucasfilm describes how the developing character was originally called Ashla before becoming Ahsoka. The spelling may invite comparisons with historical names, but that association alone is not enough to assert one ancient-language derivation.

Origin
Modern fictional-character name associated with Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars; earlier development name Ashla. Source
