Supplanter or God is gracious
Jasha is a rare diminutive form, often linked to the Russian name Yasha (a diminutive of Yakov/Jacob) or as a variant of Jane or Natasha. It carries the traditional meanings associated with Jacob, 'supplanter', or the grace associated with John-derived names. In a modern context, it is often chosen for its unique, multicultural sound.
