Meaning and background
The story behind Sascha
Sascha is an established German and Dutch spelling of the name more usually written Sasha in English. It comes through the familiar Russian short-form tradition for Aleksandr or Aleksandra. The extra c does not create another meaning, although German pronunciation differs from the standard English version. As a two-syllable dog name, it gives a distinctly continental appearance to a widely recognised personal name.
