Across the world, Yasha (Yasha
, Яша
, 雅莎
) is quite a common unisex forename. The forename Yasha is characteristic of Kazakhstan, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Israel, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female name, and Kyrgyzstan. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, Russia, and Kazakhstan. Very seldom, Yasha is the last name as well as the forename.
