Is Kasha an unlucky name?

The name Kasha is of greek origin and it means "pure". But I don't think it's an unlucky name. But it kind of depends on whether you're looking at it from it's japanese meaning or it's greek meaning. In japanese it means "repulsive spirits" and is also a name for a class of demon in japanese folklore that steals and eats the corpses of people who have done bad things. However it is of greek origin not japanese so from there I suppose you can decide what you think. Does origin matter more or does meaning that is entirely separate from origin matter more?
