Help[Facts] Re: 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.

Probably because of the "how in the hell" which I will admit took me aback to read. Different language snd cultures have different naming traditions and that's not a "how in the hell" situation.
It's a valid question, but look at the questions about Dick and Hank around this one for how to phrase the same question more respectfully.
