Vash is a unique and distinctive name of Russian origin, derived from the Slavic word "vash," which means "yours." This moniker has gained international recognition due to its prominent use in various forms of media. One notable example is Vash the Stampede, the main character from the popular anime series "Trigun," created by Yasuhiro Nightow.
The name Vash experienced a surge in popularity between 2004 and 2005, with a significant jump from 17 to 18 births annually.
