Foreigner or stranger
Lasha is primarily a Georgian masculine name, but in an English-speaking context, it is often used for girls as a modern invention or a variation of names like Lashay. In its Georgian roots, it is associated with the word for 'light' or 'enlightened.' In some Western interpretations, it is viewed as a diminutive of Larisa, which is of Greek origin meaning 'citadel' or 'foreigner.'
