Jascha

Jascha is a masculine name that baby can trace all the way back to the Hebrew title Jacob. This moniker is a Dutch variant of Yasha, a name that comes from Yakov, the Russian form of Jacob. In Hebrew, Jacob means “supplanter” or “holder of the heel,” a translation that Jascha, Yasha, and Yakov also share. While the term “supplanter” might imply an individual taking the place of someone else, we’re sure that little Jascha will fit right into every circle they are part of.
