Achsah
Meaning of Achsah
The name Achsah is a unique and historical choice for a baby girl, rooted in Hebrew origin. Pronounced as AK-suh (/ˈɑksə/), Achsah carries a rich biblical heritage, being the name of Caleb's daughter in the Old Testament. This name symbolizes strength and independence, as Achsah is known for her assertiveness in requesting land from her father, which he granted along with springs of water. Despite its ancient roots, Achsah remains a rare gem in contemporary times, with sporadic occurrences in the United States over the years. The variation "Aksa" offers a slightly modern twist while retaining its original charm. Although it has never been among the most popular names, its rarity adds to its distinctive appeal for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
