Sasha peaked in 1988, when 1,918 babies got the name.
At least 40,238 babies have been given the name since 1956. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Sasha by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1980s, when it ranked #496. The largest share of babies named Sasha, 39.6%, were born between 1981 and 1996, as millennials.
Rank counts both sexes together, among every name SSA recorded that decade; the number under it is births. The 2020s run only to 2025. Generation years follow Pew Research Center, which has not named a generation after 2012.
Where Sasha is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sasha has been most common in Hawaii (2.5×), Florida (2×), and Nevada (1.8×), and least common in North Dakota (0.29×).
36,653 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
