Hope or wish
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Asha', the name signifies hope, desire, or a positive expectation. It is often used in various Indian languages to denote the core essence or meaning of a thought. While traditionally masculine in some contexts, its soft phonetic ending has led to unisex usage in modern global naming.
