Names don't change meanings from different countries.
Katharine means the same thing in Sweden as it does here.
That's the etymology of a name. There are few names that are the same, but different origins...but that's an etemological difference.
Its insane to think that a name changes meanings from one country to the next! It doesn't! Katharine is a Greek name. Katarina is a Swedish FORM of Katharine, meaning the same. Katrina is an Irish FORM of Katharine, meaning the same thing. ANd on and on and on.
SO, Pasha means the same thing in Ukraine as it does in Turkey-because its from the same etymological roots!
Another example is my middle name. Elizabeth, according to my father, is a Hebrew name that means "Woman of God's House" because of the parts of the name. He's totally incorrect-its a Greek form of another name. Its just coincidence that it does so, there is no special reason!
Hopefully you'll finally get it through your thick skull that a names meaning DOES NOT CHANGE FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY!
