Uncertain; possibly a modern blend or variant
Rashea is a rare modern American name with an unclear etymology. It is likely a creative elaboration of the name Shea, which is derived from the Irish name Séaghdha, or a phonetic blend of the prefix 'Ra-' with the name Shea. In its Irish roots, it would relate to being 'stately' or 'admirable'.
