Hello, my parents told me that my name (Joscha) is Russian, true or false? and i'd like to know how you write it in Russian language and how to pro-nounce it. And does it have a meaning? like Svetlana = Light.
Thnx, i'd wish to know anything about my name.
Yasha, maybe -- a dimunuative?
It is German.
Да, Яша - Яков.Quote:

It is German, not Russian.
It possible can be Yiddish - Hebrew language (Jewish German) formely widespreaded in Belorussia, Poland and Lithuania - the western parts of Russian Empire. It is possible reason why Joscha's parents say that this name is RussianQuote:
