Meaning and origin of Rasha
In Arabic, rashaʾ is a gazelle fawn just old enough to walk beside its mother, and Rasha is drawn from that word. Arabic poets used the gazelle as a picture of grace and lovely eyes, so the name is a compliment to elegance. It has been a settled favourite for girls in Iraq, Egypt and the Levant for many years. A Russian name with the same spelling has no connection to it.
