Saskia is a Dutch name derived from the Germanic Sahsa, meaning "Saxon" — referring to the Saxon people. The name has been used in the Netherlands for over a thousand years.
Saskia van Uylenburgh (1612-1642) was the wife of Rembrandt and the subject of many of his most beloved paintings — establishing the name in art history. Today Saskia is widely used across the Netherlands, Germany, and South Africa.
Saskia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Saskia reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
