ArchivesRe: How the hell do you get Sasha from Alexander?
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
I've heard it's from Aleksandr - Aleksasha - Sasha. (The latter two are pet forms or hypocorisms).
Every language has its own suffixes for pet names. In russian it's -sha-: Maria - Masha, Pavel - Pasha, Daria - Dasha.
