Natasha

I always heard the name meant a new beginning.

In the Chibemba language spoken in northern Zambia, Natasha is a girl's name. It means 'I am thankful' or 'I appreciate'.

.. A local jungle native said to a missionary: “Your god keeps himself... The most common instances of the name Natasha are sun gods and goddesses.

I have something to say I don't care if my name has Satan in it. For one, it's not me. I'm a God's child. I love him very much. Secondly, I'm Native American. Third, in native terms, Natasha means Sun-Goddess in tribes.

Also means in other countries according to Wikipedia: Natasha (Russian: Ната́ша) is a name of Russian origin. Originally it was a diminutive form of Natalia, which in turn derives from the Latin Dies Natalies, meaning "Natal Day" or "Birthday" in reference to the traditional birth of Jesus.

This name means birthday or born near Christmas, it's so elegant this name, but don't name your daughter like that if she isn't born at Christmas, the meaning of the name's important for the personality for every person.

Natasha in Africa comes from a country called Zambia, from a tribe known as Bemba. Natasha in Bembe means 'thanks' as in thanking someone for helping or doing something for you.

The name Natasha is of Russian origin; the Russian form of Natalie I believe.

Also, this name is Macedonian in origin. It is also used in many Slavic speaking countries due to the relation with the Russian language.

I have heard it as a name with Hindi origins.
Nat from Nataraj the incarnation of Shiva as The Lord of Dance. Asha from life, hope, desire. As for the judgment over Satan included in the spelling of the name, deal with it. There can be no light without the dark.

It's a dimunitive of Natalia/Natalie in Russian, but it doesn't mean *anything* in Russian besides the meaning of the Latin word Natalia derives from. In Latin Natalia means something along the lines "natural". Nastassja has nothing to do with Natasha, Nastassja is Anastasia.

Greek meaning 'rebirth'.

Natasha can also be used as a nickname for Natalya. I know a Russian girl named Natalya, but no one ever called her that because it was too formal. We always called her Natasha.

Natasha does have Slavic roots, not sure about Scandinavian roots though. It main origin is ethnic European including the Slavic countries and Greece.

The name Natasha means Christmas child, born on Christmas day. Its main origin is Scandinavian.

Natasha isn't Scandinavian. It's Russian.

In Greece, Natasha is also a diminutive for Anastasia.
