Gift of God
Dasja is a diminutive form of the Russian name Darya or the Slavic name Darina, both of which are rooted in the word 'dar' meaning gift. It is often used as a standalone name in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. In some contexts, it is also associated with the Greek name Dorothy, which shares the same meaning.
