Meaning and background
The story behind Asya
Asya is used in more than one naming tradition. In Russian and Bulgarian it is a familiar short form of names such as Anastasiya or Aleksandra. Turkish Asya instead means the continent Asia. Those are different histories, not two translations of the same old word. A dog called Asya could have either background, so it is better to offer both than to assign a definitive origin without family context.
